Putting your inane non-argument aside:
The suicide rate in London is 9 per 100,000.
London has a population of 8.3mm.
About 8% of Londoners work in financial services.
Therefore someone who knew math would expect about 60 suicides in the London financial sector every year, perhaps more given how stressful the sector can be.
The rocks might melt, the sea may boil. I do not know. May the truth not hit us like an oncoming freight train, Lord. May You, Lord, restore us ... Amen ...
Finance workers are 1.51 times more likely to commit suicide than average. Slightly ahead of chiropractors, but behind veternarians, doctors and dentists.

I remember the “summer of shark attacks” a few years ago, when the number of shark attacks was exactly in line with the annual average, but it was still “the summer of shark attacks!! What’s going on?!!?”
Suicides like this get more publicity due being “spectacular”———
“Hey, it’s raining bankers!”
What would be more informative is if there is an upward rise in total compared to historical average.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Of course, there is the possibility a voyager like Li may have had some assistance on his final flight.
Maybe they each know something about Barry’s personal (secret) billion dollar cut of the stimulus money?
Ever notice how shark attacks decrease in frequency during the winter? It’s as if they all receive orders, or something.
Didn’t Soros just buy a big stake in JP Morgan.......

What is there to see here?
Want to know how to know this means something? Just count how many posters are saying it doesn’t mean anything. Do they do that for every suicide demographic? Nope. Only bankers. All of a sudden it’s really important that you know this means nothing at all.
Rightyo!
Remember the other day, the guy who shot himself 8 times with a nail gun?
Statistically insignificant. Out of the billions of people on this earth someone was bound to do that eventually. Even in the same week all the other guys were jumping off tall buildings.
Hmm . . . I wonder if that has something to do with the number of posters saying that this means something, as opposed to other suicides, and other suicide demographics?
NO job is worth killing one’s self over. You lose it all? Just start over. Or go Grizzly Adams.
What is there to see here?
God, a Life, Love with a sword when necessary. Thanks be to God ... Amen ...
