Interesting article. I like these quotes,

"These are individuals either much better at controlling their emotions or, perhaps, not experiencing them with the same intensity as others."

"However, there are circumstances in which a naturally occurring emotional response must be inhibited, so that a deliberate and potentially wiser decision can be made.”

"Emotions clearly play an important role in human life. This study suggests, however, that there are situations in which they can lead us astray. Research needs to determine the circumstances in which emotions can be useful or disruptive, and that can be a guide for human behaviour,” Professor Bechara said."

Emotions: Need them for life, but not the market. We gotta leave emotion at the door.

Oh No ! Mr.Market, I'm not a doctor, not even on TV, but I must ask you the following questions. Have you ever received medical care for a head injury? Have you ever lost consciousness following a blow to the head? Have you had memory problems that effected your day to day activities? Has anyone ever called you crazy? If you can honestly answer no to the above questions you are in the clear. Awaiting your next pick.
