There have been a bunch of suicides with financial people, not necessarily from Wall Street [and not just affected-by-Madoff]. A baker's dozen so far. Seems like I've heard that it was kind of a myth stock brokers jumped off buildings in 1929. Now I wonder.

I'm surprised you thought that was a myth. Even I remember the stories of suicides after the '87 crash, and I was just a wee tot back then. ;)
Well, I heard something, maybe it was that no one, or hardly anyone, actually jumped off a building.
I'm glad to see these poor fellows aren't getting the Louise Williams Unsympathetic Shrug like that poor "bag lady" [vbg]
um, sorry, Louis Fode that is
