Teach them to trade so that they'll be busy during BS time with their trading accounts. Show them your P&L and how they, too, can make serious cash trading during office hours.
I have a flash card on my desk attached to a straw. "Go watch Sponge Bob" It works like a wand, I wave it around if people persist.
Corporate employees either BS'ing or trading. Hmmmm....if that's the case, why was yesterday's productivity statistic up so much ? Who's really working harder ?
Better yet, have a sign on your desk that reads in large font "If you can read this sign, then you are too close."
Have you considered raw onion and garlic sandwiches during trading hours? Just focus on deep breathing when co-workers drop by. Some parmesan cheese in a gym sock draped over guest seating is optional.
A side of black beans for lunch wouldn't hurt either and we'd prefer that gym sock to be quite "used"

Had some really good Mexican food last night, with a big side of black beans so I have some recent experience with the power of the bean
