Are female investors better than their male counterparts?

[SOL]

From our observations and interactions, we can state that this study is valid but let's hear your opinions. Women tend to chase less often and focus more on long term gains. Men tend to chase and are looking for that rush. However, the good news is that very elite traders are generally the man's domain but very few make it to this category

When it comes to investing, women tend to outperform men over time, according to several studies.

"We're wired differently. Women have strong activity in planning and self-control. I think that lends themselves to be better traders," says Kathy Donnelly, proprietary trader and co-author of "The Lifecycle Trade."

Donnelly cites a 2017 Fidelity Investments study that concluded women earn higher returns than men when investing — to the tune of 40 basis points, or 0.4% — and that women save more. Over time, these small differences add up, notes Fidelity.

Of the findings, Donnelly says, "[The study] basically tied to trading less, saving more and willing to learn — I think that fits me to a T."

A separate study in the U.K. found that men outperform the country's benchmark FTSE 100 (^FTSE) index by 0.14%, but women tend to beat it by 1.94% — a difference of 1.8 percentage points. Warwick Business School conducted the study with the assistance of Barclays and found that men trade more often than women — 13 times per year versus nine times over the same period.

Donnelly wraps it all up, saying, "It’s all in the brain: Men are on a mission, women are on a journey."

no surprise here .

"programmed to look for that rush" to me is a hunting/gathering mindset . spotting wild animals or growing fruit , etc . programmed for higher risk tolerance as well . we're more sensitive to dopamine .

i suppose those traits arent Necessarily money-losing traits , but they're def dangerous and exploitable . have to be harnessed properly .

Women understand and talk about their emotions constantly with other women therefore can not fall under the same trap as men do when it comes to trading

However, the elite of the elite traders are men such as Soros, Lynch, Tudor Jones etc. they never let emotions enter into the equation.

Women also mature much faster emotionally then men. I’m just turning 30 and reading fourth way I’m finally able to understand about myself and my weak tendencies. Modern Men in general dislike talking or even understanding emotions since it’s not cool, sexy and looks weak. That attitude is pretty rubbish when in reality your inner world is the key to the success to the outer world once you start to observe and understand

The elite traders above understood that chasing was for fools and when it came to put the petal to the money they went all in and gained enormous returns without flinching or a second thought.

Those who view the market as a game to challenge ones stance against an other is my fuel when it comes to trading. There is none like it, adapt or die and the market does not give a rats ass about you and will take everything away from you. It’s like a ongoing battle and for me personally it makes me feel alive, like a warrior going to battle. Of course the gym also does that for me too but that’s more of an internal battle

If men are able to understand their emotions, harness it and channel it then they achieve great things very quickly. The male hormone testosterone is a double edge sword.

However, nowadays women have a great opportunity to become the elite as well since men hormone levels of testosterone are basically cut in half given how the shadow players have polluted the water supplies with phytoestrogens that interfere with hormone production and men have more estrogen build up nowadays so that makes them useless in the long run

Despite that, history shows us the elite of the elite in the markets are still men territory however that can change in the future

It's probably a bit like the driving argument, which are the better drivers. In discussions people tend to talk at cross purposes, with women, it's safety that tends to determine them as better and men it's racing.

I guess with investing the men will rush in, be too emotional, and over trade, this leads to accidents, especially when the elites are pushing them off the road without them realising. Women are looking more for steady growth and longer term and more aware of their emotions, more considered and disciplined. If you trade this way with less or no leverage then the gyrations in the markets are just noise, if you trade with high leverage, then noise can kill you. The elite investors are probably more men because they have mastered their emotions with regard to the markets, understand the mass mindset and are aggressive with their advantage in fleecing the masses as they panic or become over confident.

How much though are they more those who manipulate the markets or those who have insider information.?

Well manipulation has always been in the markets and the markets have never been about fairness

Despite that, like SOL states, the observer can get the pot of honey just as much as the bad guys

Another thing that will make or break you as a trader is whether you are living the life you want or are you pressured into the plantation lifestyle that the top players want you to live

For example, I have absolutely no debt, no obligations and live as I please. This freedom gives me so much room to think and strategize and I absolutely refuse to be part of the mass mindset.

To me, investing, MP and observing is a lifestyle and it’s 24/7. Those who are passionate with a vision usually succeed and view failures as a teaching lesson

For women, what I see in what can limit them from becoming the elite traders is being too cautious when you should buy the truck up or still participating in the mass mindset, spend too much on useless items or just living in constant debt. However to be fair, men are there too since they think about sex constantly and won’t defy or think outside the crowd since they can’t escape the mass mindset

The top players understand MP very well and know their history.

Look at the fall of Rome, when Men fail to lead then usually the empire crumbles and the rise of the battle of sexes that is going currently has happened before.

However it will not repeat but instead, sex robots and virtual augmented reality will replace the need to be with another person. So in the end both sexes will lose while also helping the top players goal to depopulate the world even more

In the end, emotions on your sleeve is useless in general and especially in the markets

I am not completely debt free, but not far off! I run my own one man band IT business, it's good money so I limit the amount of hours I work so I can do what I really enjoy most of the time. I could work 3 times harder and have a lovely new car, a bigger house and luxury items, but I couldn't give a toss for these because I get more pleasure having a cup of tea/coffee with a friend, and spending more time with family. The world dictates that we should desire these things but I don't do what the world dictates, I do what I truly desire, well mostly anyway!

Indeed, good friends, family and a nice cup of coffee. Simple life

[SOL]

The simple things in life are priceless. It is only when one losses access to them that one realises just how valuable these simple things were. Money has a role for it does provide things we need, but beyond a certain limit trying to make more for the sake of making more or for status purposes is a fool's endeavor. I am always reminded of how money is useless beyond a certain point (that point being different for everyone) when I look at young children playing and the fun they have. If you watch their faces and listen to their laughs, you will be hard pressed to find even one billionaire that could enjoy the moment in the same manner as young children do. They live for the moment, relish the moment. if they fall down they might cry a bit but then they pick themselves up, and in a few minutes it's all smiles and fun again.

Indeed, my mother cleans for a rich family and her boss is always amazed at how much energy she has, her attitude and her smile Always positive, even after witnessing war and leaving her home country Being rich inside counts more

Good stuff Sol and Astuteshift!

Have you ever seen a young child be given lots of presents and then play with the wrapping paper, says it all!

I gave my nephew 1k dollars as a present, now he dreams to be a trader. Read him also Aesop fables so MP principles in him already so who knows he might become better than me

Kids have so much energy, light and excitement.
