Then, in the space of four months, the stock rocketed from 80 cents to $280 a share, pushing the speculative share market sky-high. All of a sudden, thousands of ordinary Australians who had never seen a mine or even a stock exchange were gambling in the wildest stock market boom the nation has ever seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMillions of dollars were won and lost in a matter of hours. Sadly, just about everyone lost in the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo what happened? And why?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Money Miners\u003c\/i\u003e, Trevor Sykes writes of how and why mining shares rose and fell so dramatically, tracing the scandals and collapse of many companies, including Poseidon, Tasminex, Queensland Mines, Minsec, Patrick Partners, and others.
