Do men and woman 'play' the stock market differently?

[visual]

I suspect Warren Buffett was not part of their "scientific" survey.

imagine half the women in the world combined have not made as much as Buffett alone. (who is a male by the way )

Realist,this is where you said it.You did not say the greatest investors have been man.
Historical reference,women have not been helders of wealth as long as men,also women get taught that to want money like man somehow makes us lesser women.Realist ,I dont hate man,however when people like you try and tell me that we dont achieve on the same scale as men ,well the gloves come off.We had fight for the vote,to own property,not to be treated as chattels,to be able to be educated ,to live on our own,should I go on? or do you get it.And as for the refence to rape,again I was comparing,seeing that you are seeing your gender through rose coloured glasses.

I can not think of any truly great female investors, if you can please name them?

Gina Hancock,Jeanette Holmes a court,both inherited monay,but both have been inherent in not only growing their wealth but improving their respective businesses.

Vis, women are still catching up from the hunter gather days. More than half the world still lives like that! When strength of body is no longer a factor at all in the world then we'll get closer to being even. There will continue to be fundamental differences for a long time though. We still need to be attracted to the opposite sex to make babies. Hence, we will have different hormones, changing our physical makeup, (and emotional) an thus, there will be a man's world and a women's world. While we still need to make babies, the two shall never completely meet. Which is a great thing. I couldn't imagine doing it with Realist. That hair!!

Kennas,Realist(agree that hair i still reckon its a wig)point was not that though!
and as for your point,surely if that was the case men,shouldnt have to make it that much harder,This is my personal belief,men are cry babies,scared to lose hence they perceive that women are weaker not because we are but so that they dont have to compare themselves to someone who perhaps is better than them,therefore comparing themselves to an equal would induce yet more tears.Visual theory :

You must have gone to a different school to me, I can't remember that being part of the curriculum.

We had fight for the vote,to own property,not to be treated as chattels,to be able to be educated ,to live on our own,

No YOU didn't. Women in the past did of course. BUT YOU DIDN'T!!

Gina Hancock,Jeanette Holmes a court,both inherited money

"both inherited money" from men - enough said.

you are seeing your gender through rose coloured glasses.

Ridiculous, I admire some men, I don't admire most men. If anyting I admire more women than men.

when people like you try and tell me that we dont achieve on the same scale as men

I just stated a fact, I did not say women can't achieve, I did not say women wont achieve in the future, I did however state an undeniable indisputable fact that some men have achieved more than women in the past.

It is not even up for debate, it is a fact whether you like it or not. I am not one of those few high achiever men that is filthy rich, the fact they did so well gives me no advantage or satisfaction whasoever, and I take no great pride in them being male.

Great theory..

I'm too scared to argue any more in case I lose.

(I'm off to have a cry, back later)

Women run the world but they're smart enough to make sure we don't realise it.

As to trading I suspect woman are intrinsically better as they are less likely to let their ego's get in the way.
Maybe there are fewer women traders because they simply don't think it's a pursuit worth bothering with.

first quote.Ask your mother,grandmother,aunties,

2 quote. How the hell would I have enjoyed these rights if women in general werent prepared to fight for them,and on a personal note,you are wrong I did have to fight to stay at school,to be seen as useful and relevant ,Not only do I have the physical scars to prove it I also have the emotional scars,but someone like you would see those as me being weak,be that as it may.

3 quote, How were women suppose to make money if we were not allowed to work,and by the way they could easily have relied on the man around them to look after their wealth ,they didnt

4quote, you are simply too young to have a relevant opinion

And as for your last statement perhaps its time to hit the books and educate yourselve about women,and where did you go to school in a cave? or more likely why werent you paying attention.

 

[Realist]

Visual, I am not interested in what happened 100 years ago, or even 30 years ago.

I live in the present.

You should too.

The fact that cavemen supposedly dragged women around by their hair is irrelevant to both you and me now. The fact that men got to vote before women - completely useless trivia to anyone now a days.

For all you know I could be of African descent - and to think that white women have had it harder than slaves in the past is ridiculous.

You need to move on from the past that you did not even live in.

You are by the nature of living in Australia far more advantaged than most people on this planet, far more advantaged than most men. To moan about what happened to women before you were born is ridiculous. Move on and grow up.

 

[nelly]

Where did I say that?

I merely said that the greatest investors have been men. This is common knowledge, there is nothing to debate here - I know it pains you to admit it but Warren Buffet is a male, simple as that.

I can not think of any truly great female investors, if you can please name them?

I never said the average male is better than the average female at investing, I'm guessing they would be about equal.

Hi realist
Yes I would have to agree on the average man/woman quote.
And they would be level for different reasons...yes?
Cheers

 

[visual]

Realist,exactly my wish for you,to grow up because you obviously have a lot of growing up to do.

History left unchecked is bound to repeat itself.

How else would I be able to enjoy all these advantages if someone hadnt fought for them?

In future when you make statements be big enough to accept criticism

Your own freedoms and advantages are there because someone gave them to you .

Anyway Realist hows that kinder going for you,school next year

Oh no, I need to go off for another cry now.

No.

I can not see any great deal of difference between how men and women would buy and sell shares.

The difference in how people perform is the amount of time and effort spent on studying companies, financial reports, and trading/investing strategies. And how patient and committed they are. And how much they have to invest and how old they are.

To suggest the average man is too ego driven or the average women is too risk averse is generalising far too much, being too simplistic and very judgemental.

I very much doubt anyone could look at a portfolio and tell you if it was owned by a male or female.

Kennas what are you suggesting,history books,books on female development,some kind of focus on the history of women.What?

While you were arguing about chicks and blokes, AMI went from about .01c to $10.00.

No,Realist but E trade can!
I had my account way before my husband,he then opened one with my help and by the way I am the one who makes the decision for that as well,but guess what as soon as he opened his account the invitations for this and that kept coming in.So I informed E trade that knowing that sexual discrimination was illegal and therefore surely they werent engaging in that,do they perhaps file male customers under blue and female costumers inder pink.Golly they took exception to that,and informed me that I was getting the same information,b******t we share the same email,and I can tell you that this is simply not true.

Also to get the personal investor free offer twice I used my neighbours name,honestly they are still sending him invitation to seminars and god knows what else.By the way Paul used my address first so I dont feel too guilty.Me hardly anything.

You mean AUM,not interested ,my fear is that these mining stocks will go the same way as the tech bubble well for a time anyway.Everytime I try a bit of daytrading I get truly traded so seeing that they are so high I just wait it out.

Oh dear, oh dear. You didn't realise that new subscribers got the spam, regardless of their gender. You assumed because he was a male he got different treatment, I'm disapointed you are not smart enough to tell it was the date he registered not his gender. Shame shame. What an embarassment.

Do you spend your whole life worrying about men getting treated differently?

I feel sorry for your husband.

DOHHHHHHH DOHHHHHHHHH now I know I`m in the school yard,
Realist I realised that he was getting preferential treatment because I had not recieved the same offers,to date he still gets the offers as compared to me,doh,
Also E trade expalined that maybe it was because my account wasnt set up the same as his,to receive their spam,but upon checking it was exactly the same,again in case you missed it for every 4 spam messages as you put it I get maybe one.

I wouldnt have to worry about discrimaination if people like you didnt exist.

Tell me how many times you have been patted on the head by a Comm.bank manager,I have and have 3 letters of apologies to prove it.

How many times have you been told to came back with your wife and then the manager will talk with you regarding information for a home loan. honestly you are either 18 and still living with mummy and daddy or you have never worked in the real world with real people.



On further thought you are a teenager and know everything,please accept my apologisies for treating you like an adult.I`ll talk with you once you turn 22 and have forgotten everything,or started to forget anyway.
Realist you know how when people get old they forget that they were ever where you are, I`m not one of those and can recognice my own stupidity in your behaviour.So nothing personal,you just have a lot of growing up to do.good luck.
