  1. Well, he was cutting his losses. Anything wrong with that?

  2. As a massive generalization, I would have to agree that overall women are more suited to trading, just by the mere fact that most women are far more use to dealing with emotions better than men.

    Trading is 90% emotional in my opinion. :cool:

  3. Cutting his Losses?

    You've got to be kidding me!
    Who in their right mind sells a ton of S&P's at the market at discounts of 30-40 handles? He single-handedly marked the bottom because of his ignorance regarding basic liquidity issues during the week of the Crash.

    How absurd.

    I had to resurrect this thread. Thirteen years later, and there's a "girl on Wall Street (well Whitehall St).

    My gut feel says women make better traders, they're more cautious, risk adverse. Less keyboard-destroying-testosterone-fueled boneheaded idiots.

  6. Yes, "Boys Will be Boys" is a classic... There are quite a few other papers on the subject.
