WHAT A CROCK.. Women have been touting their superiority for years. Now they dominate the media, retail, accounting profession, nursing, government … yet they still bitch. According to the U.S. Department of Labor there was not recession for women. AND if you buy that crock about lost construction jobs you’re living a lie because most those jobs lost were filled by wetbacks. Furthermore, how does a single article from Scottrade, one of the crappiest platforms out there, equate to women being more “humble”. Well maybe you have been living on Mars, but anyone who is capable of examining their environment and reasonably evaluting it knows that as women have become the power, they shiit on others just like any man can.

This is a wonderful prove. I cannot believe that his wife goes on the defenses even though he is trying to seek help for both of them. Anyway I hope now that she has cool down she will see the logistic behind it.

The sad part is that I can actually agree with this… guess it really is my ego speaking a lot of the time

@ Aaron: that would be interesting to see over a longer span of time..

it’s crazy to see that the statistics are almost the same for men and women.

Women are equal to men in their decisions. That is a fact.

That survey specifically tested short-term performance, which may not be long enough a period to establish real differences in investment patterns among men and women. I’d be interested to see how men and women’s investment patterns differ over a much longer span, say ten to twenty years. My intuition is that women will tend to favor less volatility. What that says about their portfolio performance is beyond my guess.

Have to disagree with the baby gender deal
My boys were calm. My daughter ruled the roost even tho
she was the youngest.

Glad to see that the percentage was the same – that’s an interesting find, and not
one you’d guess at due to the number of people talking about it all. Of course,
when ya know ya got it right, there’s no need to toot your own horn
