Summary:
"After presenting the research, including behavioral, cognitive and biological studies, the heart of the book consists of interviews with women money managers who exemplify the best traits that women investors tend to exhibit. Women of the Street identifies and interviews ten female "market wizards" to see how women's innate investing characteristics translate to different strategies and markets, and into significant profits. Yet this book was written for women and men. The interviews in Women of the Street are not about being a top female portfolio manager; they are about how successful portfolio managers have managed money over the long term. Their wisdom can inform your investment decisions, no matter what your gender"-- Provided by publisher.
