Oh my.
What do we read on the blog of the Financial Times?
Researchers at Cambridge University have discovered a strong statistical link between the profitability of male traders at a London bank and the ratio of index to ring fingers on their right hand. The longer the fourth digit in relation to the second, the more money the traders are likely to make.
The explanation: the ratio (known as 2D:4D) is affected by the amount of male hormone to which people are exposed while growing in their mother’s womb.
I would rather say: the amount of booze consumed the evening before is at least as important….
Anyway… who wants to be a trader at a London bank these days?
Staring at screens but not allowed to trade…
Someone suggested: makes you wonder what Madoff’s index-to-ring finger ratio looks like.
