The 27-year-old ，Singapore engineering student，Mr Chan was betting on the Singapore stock market, and managed to pick the shares whose prices rocketed in the last bull run before market crash(2008).
Buoyed by the success, his father was convinced that his only son had a Midas touch. So, he gave his son$300,000 - his whole life savings - to invest in shares.
That was two years ago.
Today, Mr Chan has not only lost his entire father's savings, he has incurred another $320,000 in trading losses.
