Manhattan financier jumps to his death after firm liquidated

You are a multi millionaire and your ego is so large trying to surpass your previous mentor that you kill yourself over no massive losses because you failed.
 
Sounds like a guy that measured his own existence in being #1 and always chasing the prize. I bet the guy had enough assets etc.. to retire and relax with his family for years to come.

My take on the story is that he was more of a narcissistic control freak who couldn't stand the thought of sharing responsibility with a very highly regarded business partner (Chuck de Lardemelle).

I feel bad for his wife and children.

I agree with you 100% there are lots of people like that whos entire life revolves around control and how many digits they can keep increasing.
 
Probably other stuff going on in his life.

this guy was psychopathically disciplined. He held 40percent cash for 13 years because he couldn’t find enough stocks that fit his criteria.

that is insanely hard in institutional finance as there is all sorts of pressures from peers, media, and customers.
