Just after 7:30 a.m. on December 11,
2008, the year of the great stock market
crash, Dr. Janice Dorn’s phone rang.
The markets had opened on the East
Coast to another session of carnage.
Housing prices were plummeting, credit
markets were frozen, and GM teetered
on the brink of bankruptcy.
Dorn took the call from her bedroom,
as she often does, wearing a headset
and perched atop her green duvet. The
room was decorated sparely. The most
colorful thing in it was Dorn herself,
who, with her flowing red hair, ivory
skin, and trim frame, looks like a mature
version of Lady Godiva. Dorn has a
PhD in neuroscience, with a specialty in
brain anatomy. She’s also an MD
trained in psychiatry, an active trader
in the gold futures market, and a “financial
psychiatrist” who has counseled
an estimated six hundred traders.
