Finger length may predict financial success - Yahoo! News

Longer ring finger than index finger indicates higher probability for success in many endeavors.

The length of a man's ring finger may predict his success as a financial trader. Researchers at the University of Cambridge in England report that men with longer ring fingers, compared to their index fingers, tended to be more successful in the frantic high-frequency trading in the London financial district.
Indeed, the impact of biology on success was about equal to years of experience at the job, the team led by physiologist John M. Coates reports in Monday's edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The same ring-to-index finger ratio has previously been associated with success in competitive sports such as soccer and basketball, the researchers noted.

If only Arsenio had known about this study earlier. Late-night TV would have been much better off.

I was taught years ago that men's ring fingers were longer than their index fingers but women's ring fingers were shorter than their index fingers. That always seemed to hold true so either the latest finding is bunk or I only associate with successful people (a statement which can be legitimately challenged merely by noting that I'm a participating member of this board).

and shrink the the middle finger a little bit.
