It's "Rogue Trader" if the bet fails, and "Employee of the Year" when it puts the 10-Q (quarterly report) over the top.

I wish that they could take all these idiots out of the picture so we can have normal prices and no wild price fluctuations.

Rogue traders should be put in the stocks, while passers by put him or her to shame. Then they should be put in prison for larceny.
