Blood type may have something to do with stock investment styles and the success of investment, a poll of 1,126 individual investors suggests. The poll was conducted by stock investment portal site Paxnet (paxnet.moneta.co.kr) from Aug. 30 to Sept. 8.
According to the firm, investors with blood type A and AB were more likely to pursue stable investment strategies and were relatively successful in investments, while those with blood type of O and B made more aggressive investments and often lost money.
Out of 394 investors with blood type A, 184 (47 percent) made profit in stock investment, as did 79 out of 173 investors with blood type AB (46 percent). Some 40.7 percent of investors with blood type B and 39 percent of those with blood type O made profit from stock investment.
But 15 percent of investors with blood type A and 13 percent with type AB lost more than half their principal, while 20 percent with type B and 18 percent with type O lost big. Among investors with blood type A and AB, 14 percent and 12 percent made a fortune at an investment return rate of more than 50 percent. But a mere 8 percent and 9 percent among investors with blood type B and O experienced such successful investment.
Type O and B investors were more speculatively inclined, according to the poll. Asked whether they invested on credit over the past year, 55 percent with type O and 49 percent with type B answered that they did, but only 37 percent with type A and 43 percent with type AB said yes. Some 47 percent of investors with blood type B invested in only one item, but only 32 percent of those with blood type AB put all their eggs in one basket.

Last week I had a student write in her English journal:
'I am blood type AB so I am not good. I loathe people with type O (except my father and foreigner teacher'
I tell you, they're the most stuborn people in the world, to be sure, but plant the right idea and their heads and you can convince them of anything. |

Chimpanzees have Blood Type A. Gorillas have Blood Type B.
Invest with a chimp? Or take risks with a gorilla?
Hmmm... |

This is one of the Korean myths I find pretty dumb. Korean's also tend to believe blood type has something to do with personality and who you will marry.
When someone finds some conclusive evidence, let me know. |

Not only is blood type a concern here, but also if you are a hot blooded or cold blooded person. This has nothing to do with mental state like easily angered or murderous.
It's got more to do with types of food and drinks you like and that it is "good for you". I've been told that I'm cold blooded so that's why I like ginseng tea. I'm not sure if there's any validity, but it is interesting. |

The Japanese believe it too.
They even have condoms for people of different blood types. |

| The Japanese gave it to the Koreans in the '70s. They in turn got it from the Nazis. |
