  1. "Are women better traders?"

    If yes, probably due to they seldom argue with us on ET for various topics. :D

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

    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.

  5. If women are better traders, where are all of em? Did someone discriminate against them and keep them from trading their own money?

  8. 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.

    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
    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
    (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

  10. 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
