Why Women Make Better Investors than Men

Being involved in a company that trains people how to actively trade in the stock market. I get the first hand the success or failure of our customers to see. Eighty percent of our customers are male. But I would bet that eighty percent of the successful stock traders are women.

Based on this experience, I began to wonder why it is that women tend to be better investors than men. I thought about it over and over, and I could not ignore the facts. Women make successful investors.

But why? I think it comes down to three simple words: EGO, EGO, EGO. The one thing that most people have in common is a big ego. Men tend to let their egos their decisions for them. They love when they have to sell. They buy in for fear of missing that one big chance. In other words, they do not invest to get out of the market, the best deal but to invest, so they look good (or bad).

Usually when people think of investing, they think of taking chances and risks. But the truth is that investing has much more to do with emotional intelligence than most people realize. Emotional intelligence is the ability to think about a situation and not to get emotionally involved with the lens. Women, in general, have a high emotional intelligence.

This quality makes women big investors. Instead of investing based on what will make them look good, women will invest according to a plan - not based on what mood they are in or that they are "good" or "error" will be.

Investing is not about being right or wrong. It's about making money. Women are able to get their ego aside in ways men have trouble doing up. This ability to put their ego aside makes women big investors.

Need proof? Ask yourself this: if a man and a woman are lost on a journey, which is more likely to stop and ask for directions? Women are more likely to investments ask questions until they fully understand the concepts. Men, on the other hand, may be afraid to ask the necessary questions because he can do poorly.
Women tend to invest learning provision. With a spirit And when they learn they implement solid plans. To say that they "know that a business is good", while men women you usually can tell why the company is good.

As more and more women turn to invest, I think we see this trend. Women better than men The ability of a woman to put her ego aside gives her all the upper hand in the investment strategy.

And because women are still paid less on average than men (a situation that needs to change - Pronto), women can use to invest more and work less their inherent advantages. So men can go, hard work, and earn a lot of money, while women can invest more, work less and earn more money.
