You're way too beautiful girl
That's why it'll never work
You'll have me suicidal, suicidal
When you say it's over
Damn all these beautiful girls
They only wanna do your dirt
They'll have you suicidal, suicidal
When they say it's over
Continue advertising this stuff. Let´s see what happens next week. Bravo
Invest in alarm clocks
it really does make one wonder.
sad really.
When the trappings of the world are more important than God's Word, there is no peace. When one is soundly rooted in God's Word, there is the peace that surpasses all understanding during even the worst of times.
No need for suicides, nothing a nice line of coke (or two) can't fix.
True who ever finds peace in this arena, can totally feel for his family rip trader..guess u had ur own reasons ..
Well handling other peoples money is extremely difficult in a volatile market.

The poor economic climate still does not justify a clients expectation on the ROI.
7 suicides from 100k people. That's normal attrition.
For someone to put themselves in front of a train, is an act of destroying completely the self and can only be done when you really hate yourself. I really feel sorry for this guy, it is a really sad sad act. May peace be with his family.
I think it can be understandable really. we as people an become quite self obsessed and if we put everything on the line and lose everything and cannot answer ..taking your life can be a answer i guess.

these traders didnt find this balance of money management i guess or perhaps did not think at the time the trade they were making was with their own life at hand..RIP (very sad)

a lesson for all of us to learn especially myself
RIP
i don't like this news, i am very sad when read this news. The market very danger for psikology trader.

Might not have been anything to do with trading, most likely had problems just like anyone else. I bet there has been similar incidents recently for all walks of life in every profession. Very sad though, I feel for his kids.
what, the bonus wasn't high enough?
I found a penny today. That's +100 pips for me.
Many he and other dead traders did scalping. LOL. Bad joke. Shame on me.
I'd agree with this, single young men are those of greatest risk to suicide and money issues and break ups the main reason why. NYC averages 500 suicides a year, approx one a week on the subway. ;-(

Honestly - riding a Transalp on a wild mountain road does a better (and safer) job.
