To be a succesful trader or investor, you must ignore 90% of the free and paid advice out there. It takes a lot of focus and nerve. The legitimate hedge fund managers who turn 50-100% per year pretty consistently take the good side of this personality trait and use it effectively.
There are definitely sociopaths and pscyho's as senior mangers and investors. Worked for a few..got two fired.
