Indeed it does. That was in 1982 or early 1983, I think. Lessee -- one of them was Nelson Bunker Hunt, and I don't recall the other's name, or even how many brothers there were. Should have stuck to making ketchup.

Ah, just Googled it. It was 3/27/1980 when Nelson and Herbert missed a margin call and silver plummeted from abut $48 to about $11. How the mighty fall.
