so let me get this straight

(if and) when women's hormone levels surge (i hate using the word surge now. i wonder why?), they're unpredictible, uncontrollable, crazy, stupid, dangerous and their emotions get the better of them. yet, if MEN'S hormone levels surge, THEY ARE WARRIORS AND MAKE MONEY and their emotional outbursts are ok? f**k that shite
(where are the women in this study i say to myself? hmmmmmmm back home having babies and baking brownies? - nothing wrong with either of those things by the way, just making a point)

Hormones Tied to Traders' Deal-Making, Study Finds

By Rob Stein Washington Post Staff Writer
It should come as no surprise that Wall Street traders work in a testosterone-saturated world, but scientists now have the first direct evidence that these Masters of the Universe may be bigger slaves to their hormones than anyone realized. By measuring young male traders' hormone levels as they brokered high-stakes deals, the researchers showed that they tended to make more money on days when their testosterone levels were high. That suggests that the hormone makes them more likely to take profitable risks, but also that it may play a role in pumping up economic bubbles.
The small study also found that traders' levels of the stress hormone cortisol tended to fluctuate with the volatility in markets, indicating that it could be a factor in making brokers more cautious during downturns, helping to puncture speculative bubbles. .......
