The 31-year-old bond trader for Bank of America It's nice to know that really intelligent, mature, risk-averse individuals are handling senstive financial instruments like bonds.

He was among hundreds of people who taunted five cows in a bull ring, chasing the cows and pulling their ears and tails. Decisions / Consequences

One thing that is seldom mentioned is the botas that both tourists and locals carry.
These drunken people have them full of the cheapest red wine.
They aim it at peoples faces and some of these fools get even more drunk on this wine stored in the goatskin botas.

Just like mountain climbers. They want the thrill that comes with pushing the limits but are SHOCKED and BETRAYED when anything actually goes wrong. Oh well
It's a tragedy for his family, in any event.
To: Westlander
I have no sympathy for people hurt during the running of the bulls. The bulls are treated cruelly and taunted, and these pathetic people are just suffering the consequences of their disgusting actions. It's also common for people to slash the bulls with broken bottles as they run by, wow, what family fun.

"bond trader" could mean a lot of things, but if he is a proprietary trader for the bank the last thing you want is people who are risk averse. Most successful traders are in fact risk seekers.

I'm underwhelmed with sympathy. Hope he's a registered RAT and KOS contributor.

The only 'crazy" Spanish festival I'd like to take part in is the gigantor tomato fight they have every summer in some such city. No angry animal with horns and weighing 1700 pounds is chasing after you.

Prior to undertaking this activity, he performed a risk/reward analysis.
The results he obtained were inaccurate.

"Ducharme was hurt during a side event to the bull run. He was among hundreds of people who taunted five cows in a bull ring, chasing the cows and pulling their ears and tails."
Ummm, can someone please explain to the AP the differences between bulls and cows?
I sincerly doubt they were taunting cows. Cattle yes, but taunting cows is unsporting to say the least.
