ahhaha - Let me attempt to understand...some of your parameters (am sure there are more) for being the best are: avoid publicity make no claims about own success make no claim on how much money you have attempt to help others without seeking rewards I don't want to make assumptions but it appears that at least some measure of your gauge of success is based on introspection without the judgement of others and the ability to come back from defeat... I am just a simple country boy and mean no disrespect but I am a little confused...it seems obvious that Livermore was not supremely confident in his ability to overcome his final financial failure and/or unable to overcome the failure of self-pity and ended his life (I wonder where all his altruistic qualities were at that time) in his last act of selfishness...does this make him the best? Or should we leave the judgement whether he was the best to the man himself... "My life has been for nothing". Respectfully, Cormac
