Where are all the women?

[nzpenny]

Just wondering what percentage of traders are female. Without a doubt it is a male dominated profession though with the superior female brain I wonder why. (sure to get some replies with that statement!!!)

Good question but yeah does not seem like they are many wonder why.

But it could be that they are all in the kitchen just joking

NZ Penny,
Do you know we men make the loudest noise. Don't be fooled that it is a male dominated profession. There are some brave women out there who don't make loud noise. You remember the saying "what a man can do, a woman can do it twice better". Because i know for sure in Dubai, most of the rich single women make their money off stock market.

They come, they make their fortune, they go .. unlike the men who struggle for years trying to overcome their own egos
For instance, bunnygirl (google her) who traded a few years back and invented the bunnygirl cross or BGX, which is discussed at length at forex factory. She made her millions & is now probably relaxing on a tropical island somewhere...

Maybe I need to look into getting me an FX Suga Momma.

I will have to go ask my wife first.

There I go again, risking it all on a long shot.

Ahahahahaha.

But srsly. Demontez is probably right. Overall I have hardly ever seen any women talking about investing at all, but maybe they just don't talk about it. I still think it's probably a lower % than males, I should ask some women about investing though and see what kind of response I get :P

I've only ever seen one confirmed woman in this forum . But like they say, "There are no women on the internet "

Figure out a way for Trichet to keep his damn mouth shut for a year and I will have the dress, lipstick, wig, and earings on just for you.

I will be the sexiest Forex tranny ever.

What you talkin 'bout Willis??

Ok, guess it's time to come out of the laundry room, the kitchen, the dark ages...and put the shoes on that we hid in the closet while we were pregnant

Investing?...we invest our "time" networking mostly. Besides real estate & the traditional RRSP, there's Tupperware, Mary Kay, Usana, Watkins, Herbalife, Avon, etc. which from what I've experienced has been mainly female dominated. We talk about that all the time...you know, the dreaded "BBQ invite" to discuss "multiple streams of income" ...but perhaps you've got that "selective hearing" disorder common to so many men

Trading is only one type of investing...and now I've added it my portfolio too since it became so much more accessible thanks to the internet...actually it's going to replace my online webstore.

I think that's it .... the guys just want more glam-avatars in here. So in the spirit of cooperation, this is what I look like without the gas-mask.
