I love how CNN and others run these pictures as if these "face palm" moments don't happen every single other day (even in good times)

FUD at it's best.

Some of them just look like they're coughing to be honest, or bored out of their brains.

This is stupid...

Brokers don't trade with their own money, they trade on behalf of clients.

They make a living by charging their clients a small commission for making the trade. Brokers make money when the market is going up, and they make when money the market is going down.

Uhm. LOLcats anyone?

I agree.

But I clicked through anyway, and, looking through the pictures, I started thinking about the stereotypy of emotion al expression, which reminded me that someday I should read Darwin's "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals" (http://human-nature.com/darwin/emotion/contents.htm).

So, no upvote for the article, but not totally useless to me, either.

How is stock trading different from gambling? You even have to be 18 to do it.

I just lol'd in the back of class and at least 4 kids turned around to look at me. :-/

Reminds me of that cigar guy in the film Wall Street.
