A recent University of Cambridge study found that there seems to be a positive correlation between steroids, more specifically testosterone, and factors that contributed to the financial crash.
The researcher, Dr Coates, observed what he called a state of mania among traders, characterized by heightened risk taking attitude, increased confidence and reaction speed.
In other words, what he witnessed was a sort of feeding frenzy. And we all know the mess that was left behind. To avoid future bubbles, he prescribed an increase in the number of women and older men working the floor.
Well, there and preferably in other places, where hormones get in the way of rational thinking, I would think.
