  4. Are women better at trading?

    Craziest question on here for a long time.



    A. NO!



    Living in a world of political correctness starts to have an effect on some people after a while, it's just an illusion.

    There will be women who are good traders, but they will be no good at cooking, cleaning and other mundane and trivial chores that women are adapted and evolved for.

    Good women traders are usually the lesbian and butch types. They will be psychologically disturbed, probably unlucky in past relationships with men by not being able to satisfy the man correctly.

    Women who trade will generally buy and hold for years, like a hen sits on an egg waiting for it to hatch.

    Good women, love lapdancing for a living and having boob jobs.

    That's what i think anyway.

    I agree women do have some good characteristics which would make them better traders in general.

    The solution to that problem is the "GAY" male trader. In touch with their senses while still having some testosterone.

    Are women better at trading? Good question. I've never met a female trader so I wouldn't know. I'm inclined to think that if they made better traders there would be more of them. I think the real question is "do women make worse traders than men.”

    In the modern world there are lots of traditional male professions where women have made massive inroads, but trading sure isn't one of them. There are more women in trading than there used to be (as in there are some female traders now and there used to basically be none) but look at a profession like medicine. It's getting to the point where female med students are outnumbering men on some campuses. You don't see that in trading.

    I guess the coming years will be interesting. If the proportions of female traders increase at an above average rate relative to other traditionally male professions I'd be inclined to say that the current lack of female traders is temporary and will even out over time. If that doesn't happened I'd be inclined to say men do have a natural advantage.

    I'd be interested to see some statistics on this sort of thing if anyone knows of any.

  8. Might want to edit that post. Sounds like you're saying you've had men 'smoke your hog' and the women were better?
