    MSNBC Insinuates Traders Can Be Worse Than Psychopaths

    You're guilty of the same hasty generalizations as the authors of the ridiculous "study" posted by the OP. You hear of a 'few' rogue traders in the past decade, and draw a conclusion about thousands of others? IMO, generalizations like this are a very bad and dangerous habit to get into.

    MSNBC Insinuates Traders Can Be Worse Than Psychopaths

    LOL. A sample of 28 traders, from which they draw conclusions about an entire professional population. What idiots. The term "trader" has no definition that can be applied to a population group with any measurable conclusions. It has no more value than trying to measure "golfers" or...

    Naked pic of Scarlett Johansson leaked

    Her pictures were hacked? Yeah, sure. Don't think for a minute that her publicist didn't have something to do with it. Or, everything to do with it.

    Is this insider trading?

    Is the "knowledge" available to the public? Or is it only known to insiders? If the latter, then it isn't worth the risk to make a trade. If in doubt, stay out.

    Share your life's best lessons

    +1 It's better to be alone than to be in a poor marriage. Many women will use their sexual attractiveness to pull you into a marriage. They're very, very good at that. But don't let it happen. Take your time to make the right decision, even if you have to risk a relationship. (I heard...

    Things Social Security Won't Tell You

    That is correct. My problem is not with SS. It is one of the few examples in history of a program that has worked. The problem is that congress has been ripping off SS funds for general use, and leaving IOUs behind. What are the odds that the funds will be payed back in the lifetime of...

    why does price tend to fall faster than it rises?

    Correct. Or, put another way, what goes around comes around. But in the other direction.

    why does price tend to fall faster than it rises?

    Because of the rotation of the earth and the magnetic field, you'll find that this is the case in the northern hemisphere. But you'll find that south of the equator, in Australia for example, price rises faster than it falls.
