True.
But one should strive to survive nicely.
Some activities are detrimental to good survival.

Why would anyone commit suicide if they are making money? If they are risking more than they could manage they could always just decide to quit losing so much...

Trading is straightforward. All you need is a line that is flat. Simply ask The Rumpled One.

I really don't have a response with this...
Maybe an analogy might help

So you've got terminal cancer?
Well, all you've got to do is get better, okay?

99.9999% drop in Currency Market and the winners of now become the winners of tomorrow

inside this population you'll have extreme instances on both ends.

99.999% ?
That does not seem sensible

He's correct... 99.999% drop.

.001% perish before they shed.

And about 10% drop but get it done with enough style and elegance they win.

I'm confident that you don't mean , but you're accidentally trivializing the reasons for suicide. The Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman, who killed himself a couple of years ago, was very successful, very hot and incredibly wealthy. People that are suicidal very often feel painfully alone, and can even feel lonely in their own birthday celebration surrounded by family and friends who sincerely love them.

You do not get it, but it's a fantastic thing you don't get it.

Edit: Pardon me, you added the second paragraph. There are various reasons for suicide, and certainly part of handling it's being tough, but that's a simplistic way of looking at it.

Perhaps they are highly strung

The stat is quite true.


Trade forex for pleasure.

Buy assets for prosperity.

Price is random exactly what it does. With trading costs you cant beat this casino.

You are an embarrassment and have revealed you suffer from delusions of grandeur.
