    Hi Guys,

    So Morningstar decides and identifies 12 current superstar investors. Thar’s Good to know. But more interesting and profitable are how these winners perform after their selection? How persistent are these star operations? What fraction repeat their success story? Long term performance is what counts most!

    Best Wishes

    Apparently this guy was not one of the 12

    "Day-trading can have tragic consequences. A 20-year-old student died by suicide June 12 after seeing a $730,000 negative balance in his account, Forbes reports. The loss apparently resulted from a complex options trade. The student's suicide note, Forbes added, stated that he had "no clue" about how it was supposed to work."

    Please read the whole tragic story:

    Quoting the article:
    "It was less than 24 hours after Alex had checked his account at the wildly popular trading app, Robinhood. In his note, he said he thought he had quickly racked up a negative $730,165 cash balance. But Alex may have misunderstood the Robinhood financial statement, according to a relative.

    “He thought he was exposed, he thought that ending his life would protect his family from the exposure,” Bill Brewster, a cousin by marriage and an analyst at Sullimar Capital, told CNBC in a phone interview. “He got on his bike and never came home.”

    Not worth losing your life over. Sounds like some sort of options / derrivitives based trading. Nasty stuff when it goes against you. Include short-sellers in that herd too. I toyed with buying an energy fund when oil was plummeting a couple months ago. Like most, I naively assumed $0 to be the absolute rock bottom the price could reach. Things were moving so fast, however, I instead did what I do instinctively when felling a big tree - "Stand Clear!" Whew. Oil finished negative that day by over $30. Many inexperienced players got clobbered.

    "The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.” - Ernest Hemingway
