Brokers-With-Hands-on-Their-Faces Blog Records Market Woes in Pix

by Tim Stevens on October 21, 2008 at 05:41 PM


The facepalm is an expression that seems to be getting a lot of use lately, particularly on trading floors around the world as various global economic markets crumble. Traders hopped up on caffeine and sugar seem to be particularly emotive when things take a turn for the worse, making them quite entertaining to look at. That has spawned an aptly titled new site called "The Brokers with Hands on Their Face Blog."

It delivers just what you'd expect: regular samplings of investors wishing they'd chosen another line of work, or at least stayed home with the kids that day instead. The pictures are humorous for sure and it's hard to stifle a chuckle while scrolling through, but don't laugh too hard -- have you looked at your 401(k) lately?
