This is middle school stuff. Plenty of adults act this way under certain circumstances.
- wpietri 5y agoFor sure. Traders are (or at least were) a special breed. It was mostly young white men, a lot of them with quick reaction times and poor impulse control. The job required outsized self-confidence, and then rewarded it with a lot of money, which often turned into fast living. I worked with some who were pretty decent people, but the median trader on the floor then was an arrogant, braying jackass.
