  2. His success was despite of his depression, not because of it.

  3. Not sure Livermore died broke: as I understand it, he committed suicide ( his then wife had a former ex who also committed suicide).
    It is also my understanding that in his properties, loads of cashes covered the place.
    It looks more like he committed suicide because of depression, and not because of "lack" of money.

  5. can you explain what lead you to such assumptions?
    Regarding "broke" : "Broke" is relative. Livermore's estate was valued at around 5million when he died.

    Sometimes disorders can provide an edge eg Livermore with depression and Dr. Michael Burry with asperger....

  9. They can give you a mental edge , diswiring normal human brain , the normal human brain is wired to lose.Depressives are not satisfied with mediocre performance , their low self esteem pushes them to aim higher than normal human brains.
