- MaverickAlex, on 03/27/2008, -1/+19Here I was looking forward to grooveing out to the greatest song in the world, you ruined my day.
- captainbluebear, on 03/27/2008, -1/+17Thank goodness we have you here, noted investor and person richer than Warren Buffett.
Ohnowait. - TheAtomicMoose, on 03/27/2008, -0/+15You got Buffeted.
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -3/+16...and that's why he only works three weeks out of a month.
- Cockslap, on 03/27/2008, -4/+17unless its with my child, then IM RICH BEEEYATCH!
- Pilot85, on 03/27/2008, -0/+12Good lord. You've opened the flood gates, fool!
- slvrbullet87, on 03/27/2008, -1/+12That is so stupid that it is brilliant.
- kaplanfx, on 03/27/2008, -0/+10I think this article is misleading. It doesn't say anywhere what percentage of women invest versus what percentage of men. Now this is completely non-scientific, but as a late 20's single male, most of the females in my peer group are not yet investing. At the same time most of the males are. The few females who do invest, tend to be imho the more intelligent women with the more technical jobs. My male friends who invest are all over the board, from chef's to finance wizards. Now granted, being a chef (as I used in my example) doesn't mean you are a bad investor, you are much less likely to have had any formal training in financial markets. When they talk about average returns, these folks would tend to bring down the averages as they are less informed in the investment market, while nearly all the women I know who invest are highly informed. This could skew the averages significantly in favor of women because only a few women are investing, and they all have better than average aptitude for it.
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -1/+10warren buffett works whenever and however much he wants. i'm not sure he even considers his job to be work. he does it for fun - otherwise, he would be spending all his money.
- shortyjacobs, on 03/27/2008, -0/+8If ONLY there were some article with that information, perhaps linked to from this very page, perhaps near the top so you can find it easily.
*sigh*, I suppose I can only dream so much. - slvrbullet87, on 03/27/2008, -0/+7So he is no existent?
- z3r0c0O1, on 03/27/2008, -2/+9It works.
- Seth024, on 03/27/2008, -2/+8"He's patient and does thorough research. He waits for the right price to buy."
I thought that was the way everyone is investing. You can't just pick a number and hope to get lucky guys! - inactive, on 03/27/2008, -0/+6My mom often tells me the story of her sorority sister who was always pestering her to go out with her little brother Warren.
Sigh...... - nerdherder, on 03/27/2008, -1/+7Female genetalia = woman.
- ptsuk, on 03/27/2008, -0/+6she's peeved about the phrase "like a girl" but yet continues on to say "and as a member of the fairer sex".
So we men must be the "unfairer" sex eh? Should have just said opposite and been done with the article, I call shenanigans. - piratearggghhh, on 03/27/2008, -10/+15He invests in shoes and purses?
- Ender008, on 03/27/2008, -0/+5Well played, sir.
- VinnieDaMac, on 03/28/2008, -1/+5How surprising, a woman wrote the article.
- inactive, on 03/27/2008, -0/+4Warren Buffet is brilliant.
- LLLSecretChimp, on 03/27/2008, -0/+4Somebody should write an article about that and post it on the web.
- JordanTW90, on 03/27/2008, -1/+5I see what you did there.
- AriseNow, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3Not only that, he is one of the most insightful speakers out there, a rarity in the world of "I've got enough money to throw away" people, and a great philanthropist to boot.
- sgiffy, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3You can... but its called the lotto.
- hmunkey, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3Do you know who Mr. Buffet is?
- sgiffy, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3I suggest you email Warren Buffett and inform him that his investment strategy is doomed to fail.
- WileEPeyote, on 03/27/2008, -1/+4FTA - "He's patient and does thorough research. He waits for the right price to buy. He seeks to never sell the companies he invests in. He's the anti-trader, if you will."
Uh, I call ***** on this whole article and I doubt there is thorough research out there on how the average woman invests. Going through the list in the quote would discount most (not all) the women I know. For example, my wife's idea of waiting for the right time to buy is a sale, but she fails to realize that because something says sale on it doesn't mean its the lowest price out there.
This should have really been called "Warren Buffett invests like a rich man". I think she is confusing men with the average day trader. - tmlee, on 03/27/2008, -1/+4I can't believe I tried searching for the company "Like a Girl".
- Frost9999, on 03/27/2008, -0/+3I think you're confused about what a joke is. For starters, it should be funny, whatever the content.
- inactive, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2hmm - i see a business opportunity - i will offer my girly perspective as a freelance consultant !
- queenstarsha, on 03/28/2008, -0/+2for some people, it's also finding the right companies, and refusing to sell low.
- dksupremacy, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2Yep, the hard part is finding out the right price
- demonsnake69, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2So now Diggers are going to be sexist -- great.
- eryximachus, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2Yes. One is for class A stock which grants the owner full control of the company, and the other is for class B stock which is an ownership interest with far fewer voting rights.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkshire_Hathaway - Hillsfar, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2Peter Lynch invested in the company that made L'eggs hosery, because his wife was buying a lot of them and his research showed that lots of women were buying lots of them.
- Hillsfar, on 03/27/2008, -1/+3Because BRK-A shares started getting so expensive, some of them got broken down into mini-shares of BRK-B worth a specific fraction a regular BRK-A share so that the Average Joe investor could buy a few. Oftentimes however, there's some arbitrage/glamour difference that generally keeps BRK-B lower.
- AgentMull, on 03/27/2008, -1/+3*HONK HONK*
- dn11, on 03/27/2008, -0/+2almost all day traders are men
