Remember no matter how bad it gets it could always b worse:





Mark Barton

Mark Barton lost $105,000 day trading and he snapped. On July 27, 1999, he
bludgeoned his wife and two children to death. Then he went to the downtown
Atlanta offices of Momentum Securities, a brokerage firm that specialized
in working with day traders. He had an appointment to deliver $50,000
so that he could cover his losses and start trading again. Instead, he took out
a gun, opened fire, and killed four people. He then went to the offices of All-
Tech Investment Group, another day trading firm where he had an account,
and killed another five people. Barton killed himself before he was arrested.

This case is one of the worst workplace massacres in the United States, and it
did as much as the 2000 meltdown in NASDAQ technology stocks to reduce
the enthusiasm for day trading.
