Astrology guides some financial traders
Wednesday, September 19, 2012 - 14:39 Spencer Platt/Getty Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange. New York is full of people who make big decisions about billions of dollars. To the person on the street, these decisions look rational, like something that's part of a bigger plan.
