Arden Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I guesssed it's something like this.. I do personally know 1 girl who's a value investor but always wondered why there weren't more.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkshiremystery Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Well, that I did wonder,... about the percentage rate of female readers/investors of this board here. It has struck me to surprise at Sanjeev's shareholder dinner at the Fairmont Royal York,... that we are here almost ~98% guys,... maybe I can recall seeing only 2 or 3 female attendees. Or maybe it was only my impression. So to me, private, semiprofessional or professional investing seems to be unfortunately still only some male domaine. At the FFH AGM were of course some more female attendees,... probably at least over 10%, or maybe even higher 20%,... but you would have to correct me. I guess most female attendees came from the nearby financial firms at Toronto's Bay Street. After the AGM, I did spot at least Prem's wife Nalini standing in the lobby with friends and family,... greating people. Sanjeev said once, that she also cares to ask him how his business is doing.

NormR Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Now now guys, there are some famous female value investors out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berkshiremystery Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Now now guys, there are some famous female value investors out there. Yeah,... but sadly, if you would ask me for names of female hedge fund founders,... I could currently only recall knowing that Joel Greenblatt's sister Linda Greenblatt/Gordon runs a hedge fund called "Saddle Rock Partners". And there is also Lauren Templeton, a niece of Sir John M. Templeton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraven Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Now now guys, there are some famous female value investors out there. This may be one of the funniest posts I have ever read. A famous female value investor? Hilarious. Perhaps you are thinking of Lynn Tilton of the infamous Christmas cards of years past? In all seriousness, we could use some female blood among the ranks, but I really can't think of any FAMOUS female value investors. There's Lisa Rapuano and . . . hmmm. Lisa has done well and that's fine, but if she was a baseball player she would be someone like Nelson Cruz or Tyler Clippard or someone like that. A minor star is what I am trying to get at.

NormR Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 What, no love for Hetty Green? Kim Shannon has fans. Etc. I grant that investing has been male dominated but there are more than a few smart women out there. I expect to see more in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraven Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I think Norm was being sarcastic here... Ah yes. Well, if anyone wants a chuckle do a search for Lynn Tilton's Christmas cards from years ago. They are easy to find. Remember these are what she sent out to clients, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treasurehunt Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 How about Meryl Witmer, general partner at Eagle Capital Partners? She has been on the Barrons Roundtable several times and I have found her comments interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
