Some research suggests that female traders are more likely to make better traders than men, as they are more intuitive, less emotional and not as aggressive. Although they may not make as many big plays, research suggest that female traders are more consistent performers, and don't tend to rack up huge losses. How many 'rogue' or disgraced traders do you know who are women ?
Anyway, the allegations (vigorously denied) that a boss over at hedge fund SAC Capital encouraged a junior trader to take female hormone tablets to enhance his trading performance, got us thinking. We asked you if you thought that women really make better traders.
Here are the final results of our quick poll:
Men make better traders - 27.1%
Women make better traders - 25.4%
It's not about gender - 47.5%
