Stockbroker Commits Suicide

Pretty sad. Here's a link:

Wanted to post this not to cause a stir, but just to remind people yeah, this economy sucks. Things are tough, but it's important not to take these things out of context. An alumnus of my school commited suicide recently. Thankfully, it didn't make it's way through too much of the press. Nonetheless, it reminds me that if you're worried about your job, if you're stressed because your MD/VP/Manager/Partner is pissed, you just have to take a step back. Talk to someone. Bitch about it. Do whatever it takes.

Apologies if this is a bit sappy. Just thought it was important to say. Be well, all.
