I never said anything about females knowing or not knowing about investing. I was specifically talking about my MALE friend who's an M.D. not knowing anything about investing. As far as your 25% gain last year, that's great, but not stellar. One of my mutual funds earned 36.6% last year and I only earned 29.7% on money I have in my E-Trade account.

So what that tells me is that you and I and all of us on this thread may think we're all experts, but we're not. If we're making money, chances are the market is doing pretty well too. The only reason people like you and me play with individual stocks instead of (or in addition to) mutual funds is that we like to not only gamble but to have a feeling that we are pretty smart. More power to us.
