That correlation seems spurious to me, especially considering the method of study was "The researchers analyzed 350 merger and acquisition bids in the United States between 1997 and 2007, using a securities database from Thomson SDC."<p>I didn't notice any testosterone tests of those involved in there. What's the baseline?<p>Off the top of my head, I can think of several other youth-related behaviour you could easily attribute to that correlation:<p>* Less experience<p>* Idealism<p>* Impulsiveness<p>* Willingness to take risk
