From my diary:
Jun 1st 2011
A mail was sent to
lab@mycompany.com about bitcoin. I did a couple of searches and read a bit, found a USD exchange (mtgox.com). This BTC thingy is going up like crazy…
Jun 3rd 2011
I'm pulling some disposable money I had in the bank (420€), let's take the risk to invest it in bitcoin, let's see… it's worth around $13-$14 today.
Jun 4th 2011
I already have in bitcoins those 420€, or $600. The value has gone up to $17 so I have 34.12 BTC. Now it's the moment when it all comes down
Off topic, only 10 days later:

There's a guy in the forum that had his computer hacked and his wallet.dat stolen. He had 25k bitcoins, $500k at current value…
And another 5:
Jun 19th 2011
Someone sold a ton of bitcoins in mtgox and the value plummeted to the bottom, down to 0.01.
Aahh the memories…
