women do better on avg in school, a place where you could test m/f smarts,but in trading you need thick skin,the market will offend you 100 times a day,men have learned to shut the feelings off, women own and cherish feelings,another place to test would be driving, they are much worse drivers than men and in my opinion more aggressive,they never seem to be concerned with others on the road, so to draw a conclusion, they have the brains, the balls, but have a bigger hurdle to overcome in the emotional deptQuote from joannasmith:
This post is highly sexist and stereotypical.
Quote from Humpy:
If one was to turn the question into who makes the best traders then I would say fishermen. They have the cunning and the patience.
While the average bloke is daydreaming about sex or sport and women occupy their thoughts with fashion and bitching.
