Any thoughts on how one might do this? How do we isolate a testosterone effect vs. any other effect either hormonal or contextual? It would be interesting to see such a study.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00374987261333318644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5863301599557441497.post-59124812505417843942013-01-05T16:08:51.088-06:002013-01-05T16:08:51.088-06:00As a scientist, my opinion is: the idea that testo...As a scientist, my opinion is: the idea that testosterone has a powerful effect on the market is a bit farfetched...but the idea that testosterone has some small effect is quite believable. The psychological state of buyers and sellers has a lot to do with the market's reaction to a random (or uncontrollable outside) event, I'm sure you'll admit? And testosterone levels have an impact on psychological state - though it is only one variable in an almost infinite choice of variables.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974988315420539840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5863301599557441497.post-20364356651031888812013-01-05T15:03:42.956-06:002013-01-05T15:03:42.956-06:00I had heard of this book.
