"Stock traders are more egocentric and prone to lying than psychopaths, according to new research submitted to the Journal of Economic Psychology.
But psychopaths are better at getting what they want.
“Traders go out of their way to destroy the competition, even if they don’t get any economic benefit as a result,” says Thomas Noll, who conducted the research as part of his executive MBA at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland.
He likened it to wrecking your neighbour’s car with a baseball bat to make your car more valuable."
Bitter, vindictive bastards, aren't they.
I should have been a broker.
No kidding. I posted these in 2008, but nothing has really changed. Psychopaths on Wall St. are still allowed free rein.

I agree completely.
And why the fuck not!
We're more than qualified! There are plenty of psychopaths among us. I know! I am one! Just ask any professional. They have assured me it's true . . .

Unless I'm missing something, it's pretty obvious the generation you mention is not dominating.
