pictures of traders

Are these pictures of traders we see on down days for real? I mean, are they not just executing business for their firm for the most part? I have a feeling the photographers tell these guys to look like the world is ending and then snap.

I'm sure they're real. Anybody can get stressed and frustrated at their job and probably look like that at least once in awhile. And most jobs don't involve moving billions of dollars around :)

I don't think the traders are posing for pics.

What do these guys do exactly? They are probaby salaried for the most part? Why such a reaction. Dont they know that the market will eventually go up :)
