The studies I've seen are very interesting. Women tend to put their faith in experts and go with mutual funds. Men think they know it all and try to invest on their own. Women tend to have a higher ROI. chic, But I bet when a man has a good ROI, its much, much higher than the average ROI for a woman! GO MEN!! ted

Re: women investors I recall one study that said women investors have higher ROI in large part because they invest (long-term) rather than trade (short-term). FWIW, my wife prefers mutual funds but this is mostly a matter of wanting a diversified portfolio to smooth the ups and downs and lack of interest in investing matters. (She hears enough about investing from me to satisfy any normal person.) And a couple we were out with today also exhibited the same portfolio: male in stocks, female in funds. Small sample set and generally most reflective of the amount of individual interest. PT
