    He didn't actually run it up. Sadly, he didn't fully understand what the option expiration meant and assumed he had piled up losses that weren't real.

    They are supposed to assess customers' level of experience or knowledge before permitting certain types of trading...schwab does...i guess it has become the wild west out there

    well...things like taking a test before being allowed to drive seem prudent...i think the analogy holds

    No one should ever commit suicide over debt. The US bankruptcy laws are some of the most generous in the world. Honestly the stigma associated with it is was intentionally crafted by lenders. It's honestly the smart move for most people to declare bankruptcy at one time or another in their lives.

    whenever i've opened an account that permits options trading, i've had to fill out a questionnaire about my knowledge and experience with markets and different instruments

    not sure if that's the case with Robinhood...i'm guessing they don't really care
