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

[wayneL]

The best daytrader I ever heard of was a young woman who worked on Wall Street. She was netting $150,000 (yes you read that right) per month for herself during the tech boom.

Have lost track of where she is now, I will try and find out...if I can remember her name

Cheers

Very amusing thread, this. Seems to me that men and women are at least equal in their ability to misquote each other and to resort to personal attack when in a corner. What that means for stockmarket behaviour is anyone's guess though. My dart throwing monkey is female; she hasn't picked many 'safe' stocks so far. Still ahead though...

I Found her!

Just skimmed this thread. Has anybody mentioned Linda Raschke? She is one of my heros. About the only Market Master who was a private trader rather than running a trust.

Bedford in one of her books talks about males and female traders. She mentions the study linked to earlier where females on average did well because they traded less. I think that I can believe that. If you study Guppy and Elder they actually don't seem to trade much and achieve amazing results. I think it is waiting for the excellent opportunity rather than a good opportunity. And when I retire next year to trade full time I'll start a small account and give these guys another look.

She notes the usual that men (on average) pull the trigger too quickly and get emotionally attached to a trade and not take losses, which I can dig.

However, females (on average) aren't perfect either. They have a problem of pulling the trigger, they want everything to be perfect first. Which I think would describe my wife to a T.

Maybe I'm a hermaphrodite.....

Women are crap at pulling the trigger. After many years in the Army I know that they do not have the confidence!

 

[Sean K]

And before you reply. Why?

No, but Rascke is a cool lady too.

This girl was quite young... and i just can't remember her name

Hi Kennas
Are you referring to active service?

Hi Nelly!

Just general. Girls on the range aren't very good at shooting. But, that's because you've never had to........another story.

I'm off to the Black Cat now, to be naughty.

All the best for the weekend!

Larry Williams daughter, Michelle, won the World Cup Championship of Futures Trading in 1997, with a gain of 1,000%.

If ladies cannot pull the trigger, then she must be an exception.

Hi Kennas,ask the woman who after 15 years of abuse used her husband for practice shooting,and she didnt miss either. :

The other thing you should do is go through a few history books and you will find plenty of women willing and able to engage in a bit of killing. All very ethical of course.

Dont forget women are not encouraged to shoot as in active duty because it makes politicians nervous. I`m sure that with a bit of encouragement women could shoot as good as any man.

Thanks Wayne

quote Laws forbidding women to fight:
These provide evidence that women were definitely fighting immediately before each law was passed, and probably in reasonably large numbers, otherwise there'd be no need for the law. Also, the fact that a law exists doesn't mean that it is universally obeyed, or that those disobeying it would be social outcasts. (consider: traffic laws such as speed limits and parking restrictions, dog licencing in the UK, pirate videos and computer software, and so on)

Emperor Alexander Severus issued an edict prohibiting women combatants in the arena in 200 AD
Women were barred from military participation in a law passed at the synod of Druim Ceat in 590 A.D. The law proved to be unenforceable when the women warriors refused to lay down their arms.
Papal Bull of 1189 prohibited women from joining the Third Crusade
In 1644 King Charles issued a proclamation banning women who were with the armies during the English Civil War from wearing men's clothing.
In 1795 the French revolutionary government ordered Frenchwomen to return to their homes and prohibited them from attending political meetings, or gathering in groups of more than five.
Women were ordered out of the front lines of the Israeli Army by David Ben Gurion in 1950 (the last one left in the mid 1960s)

..................hmm.....many reasons why women would be prohibited to participate in the same field...one would be....we should keep the home fires burning and pop out the babies?
cheers

I'm not a bad shot......haven't shot anyone yet though.
I'd be the up close and personal type...... :samurai:

 

[Sean K]

In 15 years in the Army I might have known one girl to be a good natural shot. And she was a lesbian. :

Hey Kennas
Yes I'm going to :bite:
Thats funny....I know lots of lesbians and none of them are good at anything.......well..anything that I'm interested in... I'd be interested to know what people thought about the notion that if you were homosexual whether that means you had aptitude usual to the opposite gender.....
Anyway I don't really see the connection in this case Kennas.......are you inferring all woman who are good at historically male orientated 'activities' must be lesbians, if so the ones that are mediocre at best.......have the green light huh!
Did you manage the 'unconcious' part last night. :alcohol:

 

[nelly]

My turn...off I go to see the Blacks thrash that other team : .......I may or may not be unconcious when I get back to this board.....later
Have a glorious day
