Doris  is  an  account  manager  of  a  brokerage  company.    One  day,  a white-collar worker named Kelvin steps into her company with a request to open an account to deal in securities.   He tells Doris that, as he plans to study abroad next year, he wants his savings of one hundred thousand dollars to have a good return so that he can have enough money to reach his goal early.   He asks Doris in what products he should invest.  Doris persuades Kelvin to open a margin account to buy second-line stocks.   However, Doris doesn’t try to explain to Kelvin the difference between margin accounts and cash accounts, nor the risks involved in the former.

Hearing that the Hang Seng Index is dropping rapidly soon after the opening of the stock market, Kelvin calls Doris and places the order to immediately sell all the shares in his account.   Because Doris also receives many other "sell" orders from her large clients that morning, she sets aside Kelvin’s order and busily handles their transactions.   When Doris has time to eventually execute Kelvin’s order, Kelvin has already suffered a great financial loss.
