Compared to their male counterparts, women have scientifically been show to be more patient and wiser when it comes to making decisions - characteristics that epitomize the Foolish investment philosophy, as well as the investment temperament of the most successful investor in history, Warren Buffett. While men may be brash, compulsive, and overly daring, women tend to be more studious, skeptical, and reasonable. ""Warren Buffett Invests Like a Girl" empowers and educates women - and the men smart enough to embrace a "feminine" investing style - on how to strengthen their portfolios and find success in the market. You'll have to read her book to see the criteria she used, but I'd say I probably plead guilty". (Warren Buffett).
