Great...it used to be called going postal....now someone will coin a new phrase further degrading our profession. What are investors gone bad? "daytraders" It's becoming a dirty word. It's a pretty tragic event. I'm sure we will be hearing lots about this and many more stories will appear in the news of what we do everyday...I've already seen enough of them prior to this sad day... There are people out there that have no business doing what we do...but hey it's a free country....and no one is holding a gun to their heads to do it, until today. Sad...he should have just jumped out of a window. I guess it's the senseless times we live in? I feel bad for those senselessly killed today....I guess my day wasn't so bad. My prayers go out to those effected by this. Jeff I just heard on the news he hadn't been trading in awhile...so he was probably just a sick person and not a daytrader who just snapped because of losses.
