I just read an article in the July issue of SFO (Stocks Futures & Options) magazine and it's called:

Behavior Economics: Most Take High-Risk Gamble to Avoid a Sure Loss by: David Silverman

It explains how and why Most traders Take on High-Risk Gambles. This was a great article and one you should print out and give a serious read to because it explains why traders make Irrational Decisions.
