Quote from zdreg:
not exactly. if i recall correctly you made some inaccurate assessment concerning the chicago trader who committed suicide.
it is not only about money but the person's health both mental and physical that pushed over the edge.
not having a place to go to in the morning might have pushed him over the edge.
not having the ability to visualize a better future might have pushed him over the edge.
Nope. Same story, second verse. The love of money. That is the absolute, and the dead cannot argue with it, even though peabrains with situational ethics would like to chat it up. No.
Nobody pushes a man to extend his foot where there is no support. Nobody forces a gay man to stick his dick into another man's feces and risk HIV. Nobody makes you push 'buy' instead of 'sell.' It's called choice. Don't EVEN try to explain away his responsibility. Doesn't fly, turkey.
In the end, you won't spend a penny toward his expenses. You don't give a rip about him, so all you're doing is feeling guilty for something in your own life, and trying to feel better by sticking up for a dead man whose choice was to become dead.
You are a two-dimensional cartoon character. And not a particularly well drawn one, at that.Quote from GermanTrader:

It's a weird story.
I honestly don't get the whole "lose your money, lose your job, commit suicide" thing (even with the health issues), but my condolences to his loved ones.

Quote from GermanTrader:
I was referring to the absolute that the love of money can kill you.
Which is only slightly worse than what you're afflicted with; being in love with yourself.
Then again, I suppose there has to be at least one person out there that thinks you're worth something, so it might as well be you...

it becomes overwhelming with no hope. there were male immigrants from the former soviet positions who had prestigious positions in the former soviet Union who could not adjust. their wives made more money than them in Canada and in the US. they ended it.
feigned condolences says too much.
Actually, this is a success story that ended with a sad ending. Its not weird.
This is a mentally handicapped person who overcame and had a successful career at Bear Stearns for 9 years. He made six figures, had his own office in NYC and a nice apartment in NJ.
How many mentally handicapped people do you see having long careers at investment banks?
I dont know what he was worrying about...he could have landed a job at Ladenburg...
