One good thing about the low volume on IOM today,
it will give you plenty of time to read this and think of all the things that you can be thankful tomorrow (when there will be even less volume). Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Stock market woes trigger suicides

HONG KONG (Reuters) - A Hong Kong businesswoman gassed
herself and her boyfriend leapt to his death from a window after they
lost money in the territory's stock market crash, local media reported
on Wednesday.

Ma Wenhua, 42, was general manager at an investment company and
her boyfriend Zhong Keyue worked for a mainland Chinese
corporation, the Apple Daily newspaper said.

They left a four-page letter when they killed themselves on Tuesday,
saying they had lost money on the stock market.

The Hong Kong stock market has plunged more than 38 percent
since August. Many of the territory's 6.5 million people had invested
in the market.

In a similar incident, also on Tuesday, a woman with financial
problems threatened to jump 19 floors from a tall building with her
two young children in her arms, but police talked her out of the
suicide attempt.

The Sing Tao daily newspaper said the woman lost money in the
market crash and a relative had refused to lend her HK$200,000
(US$25,700) to bail her out. REUTERS
