Most ETers are "tradin' out their ass".. how come that isn't a poll choice?

"poll" (or is it pole) with "ass" in the same sentence, you'd think something could get "worked out".

Although a bit on the big side, you do have a point, since some quants prefer to work it out with a pencil.

Given the criteria, bottom line would seemingly have this type of tradin' utilizing both sides of brain size...
