Operador inexperiente

Postei só como curiosidade, no caso do SocGen, um operador causou perda de US$7,2bi.
Afinal, operadores experientes na Sadia, na Aracruz e na Votorantim perderam bem mais.


An equities trader at Renaissance Capital, a Russian investment bank, lost the company about $10 million by placing unauthorized bets on the stock market just as it collapsed, the bank said Monday.

A Russian business newspaper, Vedomosti, reported that the institutional client had encouraged a trader on the equities desk, identified as Anton Stenin, 28, to place the bets in early September in violation of risk rules, at a time when many thought the stock market was poised to rebound after a dip during Russia’s conflict with Georgia the month before.
