Are women better traders?

Quote from princessa:

c'mon, now tell us what you REALLY think!

that's really something, the most priveleged group in the world talking about protected classes....the reason the same thing wouldn't fly in reverse is because everyone knows who the REAL power belongs to...they're just humoring those with less power (i.e. women and other so-called protected groups) to make them think they're more in charge than they are. some of us, however, have no illusions about what's really going on....

women are a "protected class".

and they are using this status to take over the world ... It would be unthinkable for someone to announce they will only invest in funds managed by men. They'd be ruined. I personally don't give a hoot.

"most priveleged group" ... BLAH, the markets are a creation of men.

And it's far more interesting watching them leg into, and out of, positions.

You guys are too funny :p I was going to suggest this thread be moved to chit-chat but between you, coach and Joab the jokes are too good...move to jokes.

Actually trading itself is gender neutral, I don't like to generalize about women but it does seem that most women prefer other career options...thats it.
 
Quote from princessa:

ah hem... as a woman myself, i agree with the preceeding posts but not this one. actually, women as traders tend to be less emotional than men, not moreso. men have HUGE egos, therefore tend to always want to be right. this can be a HUGE impediment to trading.

of course vo would have to make the argumentative statement....ever the stirrer upper....

Less emotional ? How do you figure ? The majority of the women I know have serious mood swings and do not control their emotion very well. My point was that women would probably tend to be more conservative taking trades. Is this a good thing ? Probabably so if you want to preserve capital and try to build upon it.


BTW princessa, I wrote a new song for ya

:)

Honey why you calling me so late
It's kinda hard to talk right now
Honey why you crying
is everything okay
I gotta whisper cause I can't be too loud
Well, my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice
saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I don't never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's funny that you're calling me tonight
And yes I've dreamt of you too
And does he know you're talking to me
Will it start a fight
No I don't think she has a clue
Well my girl's in the next room
Sometimes I wish she was you
I guess we never really moved on
It's really good to hear your voice saying my name
It sounds so sweet
Coming from the lips of an angel
Hearing those words it makes me weak
And I never wanna say goodbye
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel

It's really good to hear your voice

(And I never wanna say goodbye)
But girl you make it hard to be faithful
With the lips of an angel
Honey why are you calling me so late

you may need to expand your universe of women. As was pointed out previously emotions over human events vs emotions over money are two different types of "emotions". I may cry watching bambi's mother get shot but not shed a tear at 100K loss :p
