Boy Trader George Dabon Ends Stock Dream with Self Destruction
Seventeen year old George Dabo, a Hoboken youth dubbed a Wall Street prodigy, reportedly pursued stock and bond trading for a year on margin. Friends say relentless focus on quotations led to melancholia and nervous breakdown, culminating in a self inflicted gunshot at his home on Hudson Street. His father Leon Dabo, an artist, says the boy hoped to become a millionaire and could not divert his mind from market tickers. The family planned a Europe trip for rest, but the tragedy occurred early Saturday, despite medical help.
