I'd say look at women in ETFs.  Perth Tolle comes to mind.  Indy issuer with a good idea. (Not sure I'd invest though, crap is a good buy at the right price)  Most notable black dude in finance? Reggie Browne. (also a member of women in ETFs)  Honestly, ETFs are where the odds and ends of finance go with more smarts than connections.  I'm stereotypically blonde and good looking (easy 8-9, and can fake a decade younger) but I'm an aberration in the field.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.

Hold up. You are a blonde, easy 8-9 woman, and you are on WSO? This cant be right

Try again, 30-something 5'10" 125lb blonde twink, but if you look good enough I'll still ---- you though.
