nothing shocking

August 20, 2007

according to the ny post business section which is a joke in itself a recent poll of wall street traders revealed that fifty-eight percent of them would have no problem trading on insider information (highly illegal) if they thought they would get away with it. other revelations from the poll that were not included in the article:

88 percent would have no problem cheating on their significant other regardless of whether or not they were going to get caught.

.01 percent have ever admitted to losing money on any given year which is fascinating because the market is a zero-sum type of legalized gambling.

99 percent are accustomed to receiving a bill rather than a feeling of love or happiness after having sex.

excluding harry potter, 87 percent have not read a book since high school. 26 percent do not
even know how to read.

traders account for 83 percent of net annual sales for dep # 2, club monaco, and chainsaws.

73 percent were high school football players, which is to say they can describe the taste of the money shot.
