I *suppose* it's possible that stock-brokers in Sao Paolo, in general, *may* always have guns on them so that in the case where one spontaneously decides he/she wants to, he/she can kill him/herself. It's "possible". It is unlikely, but it`s possible.

Well, it's possible, but anyone can carry a gun (for various reasons - I would say suicide is one of the least popular reason) in Sao Paolo regardless if they're traders. I don't think he purposely carried a gun in anticipation of horrible stock market performances. If anyone, not just traders, who carries a gun, and is going through some dramatic nervous breakdown, it's possible that he/she would shoot him/herself.

It would have been traumatic to watch. I'm sure he knew that much. It would have been nice of him to do it in private. Hell, in a bathroom stall.

Well, no it doesn't.
That is, nothing "sucks". Good/back, likeable/not likeable, sucky/not sucky -> all artificial attributes.
