A Neuroeconomics Argument For Gender Equality In Finance - Young Men Are Idiots:
"Writing in The Guardian, Tim Adams cites a study showing that in a survey of 2.7 million investors which found in 2008-2009, men were much more likely than women to sell stocks at price lows.

Women, the study surmises, were more likely to acknowledge when they didn't know something and lost less money than men did."


I definitely recommend you read the article. It is better than the excerpt above. :)
