Why we need more (good) female traders

[PipMeHappy]

Hello traders, the Women of Wall Street's 2015 winners are yet to be announced; in the meantime, take a look at those from 2014, which include traders, senior managers, etc.:

In this report by Brooke Masters, published by

the Financial Times on 15th Sep. 2015, we see

once again how a pay gap and a particular work

culture in the financial sector negatively affect women

and act as a barrier:

Hello traders!

I hope you found Brooke Masters' report of interest...

And now, for something a little bit lighter-touch:

A healthy antidote to the 'Wolf of Wall Street' male bias...

Clara Guibourg, online writer for City A.M., wrote this article two days ago:

"Powerful women in the City: From Helena Morrissey to Pinky Lilani, these are the most influential women in finance and business".

The article is quite short, but it is followed by a list (with rankings) of

eighty-nine (yes, 89) influential women in finance who are active

in the City (that is, London's financial heart); a lot of names will be unknown,

probably, but some may be within the sphere of public awareness already.

With leaders such as these, there is a little bit of hope for women in finance after all!

Yes - lots of national motoring organisations, some insurance companies and some clinical psychologists have noticed, analysed and acted on the fact that we're statistically much lower-risk drivers for both fatal and minor accidents. But thanks for asking. :34:

I didn't mean any rude joke. What I meant was that "woman and trading yes/no" sounds to me the same silly as "woman and car".

I have no doubts in this.
