There Are Women Here

Post by MediumTex »

The ratio of men to women among registered members here is 5.8/1, which for an internet forum about investing is fantastic.

You occasionally see these stories about how women are more conservative investors than men, so it makes sense that women would be attracted to the permanent portfolio.

In any case, I'm happy to see that there are lots of ladies in the house.

Who are some of the common women commenters?  I guess I assumed almost all of us were guys...

No cussing and no spitting.

I don't care.  I'm still not putting the seat down.

That makes sense to me.  Anecdotal experience would lead me to think that most women are more conservative financially, which would make the HBPP a good fit, IMO.

6 Iron, chaps have to be custom-made to accommodate long legs, short legs, big butts, etc.  So you can get them in any color and with any lining you like.  Even fur-lined--for the winter, of course. :)
