Sorry if I have been a little misunderstood.

I am not trying to say that all traders have no ethics or values, just pointing out (like Soultrader said) that traders tend to be more thick skinned than most.

Its like the traders who sell airlines short after a crash - now I would not do that, but I know some traders who would. That opens another issue, if nobody acts on bad news then we risk a false market - after all the market is only a reflection of supply and demand.

Some people see gambling and tobacco stocks as unethical, but personally that would not stop me trading in these stocks.

I hope thats clears up any misunderstanding?
