You are missing my point, Ed. In that pool of investors, the number of males
dominates. The probability of having women on top is therefore small. A
better measure would be some averaged figure. Also, what defines a good
investor is not the sum of money accumulated, but the percentile gained. In
that sense, a person like George Soros who came from Hungary without wealth
is a good examplar of success.
