Interesting Article for Gamblers

http://www.sfn.org/index.cfm?pagenam...fings_gambling

They mention the stock market in the article and different parts of the brain that are affected. The first thing that comes to mind is the newbie trader, who focuses much more on the possibility of making millions rather than getting completely wiped out. It's that overly optimistic view that directs them to ignoring risk, and eventually wiping out their accounts - or in this case becoming an addicted gambler.

Check it out, let me know what you think.
