This is an article about how women are actully better investors than men. The article does a pretty good job of saying how women are better investors, but I'm doubtful since I think most people screw up things when money is involved. But it is an intresting read. Does anyone know if there are investment firms that have more female money managers than males?

Sweet, thanks commodity bull. Do you know if there any firms in canada? cause I'm having trouble finding them on-line.
If that's true, wouldn't you expect to see more highly successful female investors? News articles and statistics can be manipulated to make a point, but the actual market doesn't lie.
I think in general females are not interested in investing. Its just not a typical feminine thing to be interested in.
Anyway, I've read another article before in the WSJ about how women generate better returns than men because they are more aware of risk. Also, other articles have stated that women make better choices when switching firms and have more success when doing so because they consider factors other than higher pay when making the jump.
Having traded both equities and commodities professionally, I can tell you that the two produce vastly different results when it comes to females.
The female equity traders I worked with were together, relatively unemotional (unless they slept with a male trader and he shared photos), had great client management skills, and were hard to ruffle. I would say that their overall results were comparable to their male counterparts.
The female commodities traders I worked with may as well have been strippers. It was not unusual to see them break down in tears, storm off the trading floor in a huff, wheedle preferential treatment out of management, lose shit tons of capital, and make a general nuisance of themselves. The couple who weren't drug addicts were emotional claymore mines with tripwires laying everywhere.
I attribute the difference to the volatility. Equities are a lot more mellow. I actually had female commodities traders come to me in tears and beg me to call their client for them and tell the client that they lost all their money in less than one trading session. They just couldn't bring themselves to make the call. And it happened A LOT.
Don't take this the wrong way. I truly mean it with the utmost respect, but you are one disturbed individual.
That's an intresting view. So why is that commodities trading is so different from equity trading?

So, then do men usually do a much better job of getting better returns for their clients when dealing with commodities trading?
I'm not sure I could make a generalization like that, because returns on commodities trading are almost universally bad. Guys certainly handle the losses better, though.
By the way, is your screen name Finance Therapist?
I hope so, because Finance The Rapist is just creepy.
Sean Connery SNL Jeopardy reference...if so extremely impressive
LOL. Yeah it's Finance Therapist.
So, then basically it doesn't matter which stragety you use in Commodities, just that you better get lucky in order to make some money?
Wrong. Bitches just can't hang with the streets.
