business people and finance people, in my experience are not smart people.
the smartest people ive met are, you probably guessed, scientists: physicists for book smarts and a broad overall intelligence, but sociologists, social psychologists.
being very confident is negatively correlated with intelligence and wisdom as ive seen in the world, and all it takes to buy for a dollar and sell for two is not having a strong moral compass and being unduly confident

pretty much.
but i’ve met plenty of stupid scientists and psychologists. usually when they try to apply their expertise to other areas where it doesn’t apply.
