Study: Stock Traders Are Psychos

Stock market traders display similarities to certified psychopaths,
according to a University of St. Gallen study. Researchers compared
decisions made by 27 equity, derivative and foreign exchange traders in a
computer simulation against an existing study of 24 psychopaths in
high-security hospitals in Germany. Not only do the traders match their
counterparts, but as Der Speigel succinctly puts it, the "stockbrokers'
behavior is more reckless and manipulative than that of psychopaths."
