Device Protects Day Traders From Emotional Trading

Posted by samzenpus on from the never-again dept.

Philips Electronics, a Netherlands-based company, has come up with a device designed to protect day traders from emotionally based trading decisions. The Rationalizer measures your galvanic skin response and lets you know when you are under stress. An online trader can then take a "time-out, wind down and re-consider their actions," according to the company. This may have come too late for us, but at least future generations won't have to live through the horror of angry day trading.

    Actually, I don't particularly like House. This particular episode wasn't too bad, though the billionaire character is terrible. The wife and older son are the real fans...

    Don't Scientologist measure galvanic skin response to help you get "Cleared"? Maybe traders are some new type of Thetans.
