RE: The inequality of risk aversion for investment

in LeoFinance3 years ago

I think women might be more risk adverse generally, but only just. My best ex was adverse to any risk, and personal financial security was her primary motivator. My friend from San Diego is a regular Forex trader and specifically watches and trades the Asian stock markets. Which is a good thing, I can text her at 0400 knowing she'll be up and watching.

The only way to really quantify risk is through hindsight and that does nothing for going forward. To quote the Daily Racing Form: Past performance is not an indication of future ability.

I think you are absolutely spot on about the women being ready and willing to work for their stake as much or perhaps even more so than men. There is certainly a much higher % of female investors in Hive than anyplace else I can think of..

Fascinating comment..

Why?
I have a daughter, I can’t get her interested in crypto.
Anything special here for women?

Yes, I think there is. Low risk. For the risk adverse, (men and women) Hive offers a platform that can be valid with no money expended. It takes time and effort surely, but can be used and profited from with zero out of pocket.

The other thing that is special for women is equality. Hive stake and quality content is the sought for goal no matter the gender. I see a fair amount of participation from women from societies that are usually not conducive to women's rights. I think that is because the participation is from the home, no public persona needed.
