That makes it LESS tragic - the fact that he killed himself over a quirk of accounting instead of taking another second to examine his situation and options. How many people in his love life did he hurt, and for what? Not even a "hey I got myself in a lot of trouble", literally just "hey I misunderstood something that looked like a lot of trouble that was only a little trouble".

Basically he looked at his portfolio value in between options executing and he would not have a negative value after they were done executing. He specifically mentioned a bull put spread in his suicide note. From the article:

>Here’s an example of how a bull put spread could produce an unexpectedly large stock position in your portfolio. On June 16, Amazon (AMZN) trades at $2,615 per share. If you’re neutral to bullish on Amazon, you could sell put options that expire on July 17 with a $2,615 strike price for $28 per option. To limit your risk, the other leg of the trade is to purchase puts at a lower strike price, $2,610, for a cost of $26. That two-dollar differential (multiplied by 100) generates $200 for every contract you sell. Do three contracts and you generate $600. If Amazon closes on July 17 above $2615, you’re in the clear and keep all of the proceeds, as both puts expire worthless. If the stock closes below $2610, you will encounter your maximum loss of $900: $5.00 (difference between strike prices) minus $2.00 (proceeds earned up front) times three contracts.

>When the stock closes between the two strike prices, the put you bought at the lower strike price expires worthless, but the one you sold is in the money and legally binds you to buy the stock at the strike price. In the case of three contracts of $2,615 Amazon puts, that would be $784,500 to purchase 300 shares. Over a weekend say, you may see a -$784,500 debit to buy the stock, but you would not see the stock among your holdings until Monday.

>Kearns may not have realized that his negative cash balance displaying on his Robinhood homescreen was only temporary and would be corrected once the underlying stock was credited to his account.
