  1. No, you touched a nerve because you're an idiot, which, like I said, is pretty much proven by the contents of your post.

    Please tell me you trade the ES, same as all the other nOObs.

    Please :D

  3. that is pretty true

    becoming successful in America is easier for women, it is more in sync with their spirit

    America has this predefined path of how to live live, if you go that path, the system will accept you, if not it will see you as a loser

    in classes that I have taught, i have noticed that most of the girls come to classes on time, pay attention as I instruct, take notes, ask stupid questions and do the homework I give them but boys hardly do any of that shit

    basically women by nature are very submissive to authority, power and rule

    and love to compete & argue with those who are in the same level as them and abuse those who are lower than them in power & class

    the laws in America have made men and women equal to a greater degree than their nature would agree, that is why you see so many women shout on their husbands over stupid shit, avoid taking any orders from them but yet masturbate to the idea of sucking a rockstars cock and eventually end up fucking their boss

    in the end and all in all I'd love to see more women trading

    I've walked on fire, scuba-dived the Colorado River rapids, survived cancer, and traded.

    Hmmm...which was scariest?

    Getting on the bus that would take us to the river rapids and discovering I was the only woman on board :D

    Or as James Bond found out in 'Moonraker'
    James Bond :- "Good afternoon"
    Holly Goodhead :- "Can I help you?"
    James Bond :- "Yes my name is Bond, James Bond, I am looking for Dr Goodhead"
    Holly Goodhead :- "You just found her"
    James Bond :- "A woman"
    Holly Goodhead :- "Your powers of observation do you credit Mr Bond"
    :)

    With such black and white criteria for success or failure, objective standards of measurement, an inability to makes ones nut by manipulating others, and a need to continually take risks, it is really not a great field for women. Women are more collectivistic, socialist-minded, and people oriented. All of these are bad qualities for a trader.

    women in general succeed by selling sex (sales women are always hot), affirmative action, working hard and playing it safe in an ultra conservative professional career, or doing what 90% of them should be doing, which is being moms and taking care of their families.

    The modern world was built for men and is best run by those with the male mind and mentality. Women CAN do the jobs, but by and large they are the sheeple with the beta males that add little if any value. Women basically add to the stock of beta males and drive down the wages for beta male jobs.
    Trading is for men who can add value, and those few women who can as well.

  10. When you all figure it out, let me know :p I'd love to have more colleagues. I have found that women more than men tend to follow instructions better in general, think about putting together something, a lot of times the guys will jump right in without reading the instruction but the women won't, we read over what to do all the way before starting. Most "instructions" for finance say that stock picking and trading like what those of us on this board do is a very bad idea. So, I think it has something to do with that same line of thinking that leads women to read instructions better and also to seek advice more often.

    I think it being such a solitary profession probably factors in, too. I used to be an electrical engineer and I know many women in that field who became lonely doing some of the more solitary things in that field like design. Most in the end gravitated toward marketing or support. I guess whatever is in me that makes me gravitate toward trading is probably from my mom, she's stayed a design engineer for her entire career.
