Gyroscopic Investing

After reading a few comments, I was wondering what hand people are dominant with. I'm kinda curious if there is a higher percentage of Left-handed people here than the general population.

Right handed but my left leg is a lot stronger (I think from playing a lot of sports as a kid... right-handed people tend to jump off their left leg, for example when shooting a layup). My left hand & arm have better endurance than my right. Too much information?

From a statistics perspective: Yes
From a getting to better know people on this forum: No

Will lefties be more likely to open this thread and vote?  Could skew the results some. 

Anyway, I'm a lefty and voted, but doubt I would open this if I were right handed. 

Do you think it should have a different name to the subject line then? Perhaps "are you left-hand or right-hand dominant?"

I'm right handed.  I voted.  I lean more right than left and live near the right coast.  Right?  My daughter is ambidextrous and though raised in the right part of the country lives near loony lefty land; she tries to remain balanced.

Dad is a southpaw. I am nearly equally  dextrous clumsy with both hands, but am a bit right-handed.
Like Tenn, I eat with my left hand. At least, I don't change hands after cutting with a knife the way most Americans do.
When I visit my parents, I don't bother to change the left-handed setup on the computer.
Edit: per question below, I definitely write with my right hand. Brush teeth with either hand.

Perhaps it should be clarified for which hand do you write with or doing a majority with (or what hand you use for brushing your teeth).

I would have gone with "Are you sinister?"

Can you edit the poll?  If not, I'll do so, and incorporate some suggestions made here.

TennPaGa, I'll trust your abilities higher than mine. Plus I don't want to step and your toes and I'm lazy

The only thing I do with my right hand is the computer mouse (and saluting people in a joking manner at work). Everything else is left handed (ooo and shifting too, that's with the right).

Seriously people, 4 of you so far do EVERYTHING with your right hand?  Do you have a left arm/hand that does absolutely NOTHING?

How many fingers are facing your palm when you salute?

Depends how much I like/respect the person

I may have accidentally hit the Report to Moderator link under Mark's post. Please disregard, as it was a slip of the stylus.

And it was my right hand! Oh, the shame!
