Hello c,
c> maybe women are smarter? :O) or maybe they lurk quiety behind the
c> scenes making kazillians of dollars?
Carol Dannenhauer is Director of Lind Managed Futures and was the only
female written about in the book Super Brokers. A very knowledgeable
industry professional who I admire. She allocated half a million to a
CTA I was associated with one night over dinner.
Jean Coats who managed a Charles Schwab brokerage firm for many years
after having a successful career as one of if not the first woman to
have traded on in the pits. Now she writes OEX calls for fun. I used
to program proprietary thingy's for her.
Linda Satterfield a brilliant X floor trader going way back who is as
an intuitive a trader as I have ever run across. Used to hold round
table discussions which I attended and learned an awful lot from here
and her guest, and people she officed with like Peter Aan.
Kim Hanks a broker at Smith Barney who taught me that it was ok to
turn over a creation and let someone else execute the system. That in
fact trading a system could be an effortless affair, allowing me to
continue research projects of mammoth scale which. I would never had
been able to concentrate on otherwise.
Mrs Brown who fearlessly traded my systems very often in my absence
and had many times more faith and courage than I. She closed deals,
patched data, called brokers and made emergency over riding decisions
when necessary. Plus she manages to keep a lid on all my affairs and
me out of "well some" trouble.
Yes rare in the business are these women yet I will tell you the ones
I mention are superb and more knowledgeable, hard working and
dedicated than most any guys I know. I would say they are all
passionate about the business to an extreme. I am sure there are many
other's I've forgotten about forgive me. Plus I do know of some newly
budding women traders who have sought myself and I'm sure others out,
picking brains and taking notes instead of yacking like me.

Thank You,

ps I have a new OddBall System which will be released in the May 2004
Issue of Active Trader magazine. It uses EOD data and trades the
standard 20 commodity basket of the magazines choice. It has history
behind it and will be intriguing. I have great gratitude to Volker
Knapp of Wealth-Lab Inc. for taking the time to write the article and
detail it the way he did.
