David Weidner, MarketWatch
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Anthony Weiner has put us men in a pickle.
Why is it that men so often self-destruct? In the political world, Weiner joins Eliot Spitzer, Bill Clinton, John Ensign, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and John Edwards as hypocritic slime balls who let their pants set their personal policy.
But it’s not just politics. Todd Thomson, young, married, chief financial officer at Citigroup Inc. /quotes/zigman/5065548/quotes/nls/c C +0.74% , was embroiled in a scandal a few years ago with money honey Maria Bartiromo of CNBC. Her career survived. His didn’t.

Women are better investors.
|
There’s Dominique Strauss-Kahn of the International Monetary Fund, who’s accused of sexual assault. There’s James McDermott, who was CEO of Keefe Bruyette & Woods until his dalliance with a porn star named Marylyn Star embarrassed him out of the company.
We men just make bad decisions. We can't help it. We’re men.
Women on the other hand do almost everything better. We’ve known this intuitively for a long time. If you didn’t, just ask your wife or mother. But now there’s a raft of evidence out there that suggests women are better at everything, including investing.
A new study by Barclays Capital and Ledbury Research found that women were more likely to make money in the market mostly because they didn’t take as many risks, they bought and held. Women trade this way because they aren’t as confident — or perhaps overconfident — as men, the study found.

“Women were more likely than men to have a greater desire for self-control,” the study concluded.
In other words, they trade less and earn more.
“Women tend to have lower composure and a greater desire for financial self-control, which is associated with a desire to use self-control strategies. Women are also more likely to believe that these strategies are effective.”
And you know what? They were.
The study supported previous findings that women tend to make more. A 2005 study by Merrill Lynch found that 35% of women held an investment too long, compared to 47% of men. Moreover, an academic study in 2009 found women made 1% more annually.
Chun Xia, a finance professor based in Hong Kong and one of the researchers, wrote that women reported a greater desire for self-control in their approach to financial management. They are likely to get stressed more easily and their awareness partially accounts for their greater desire for financial discipline.
However, the report said, it is men who actually have a greater need for discipline when it comes to investment management, as they tend to be overconfident in investing.
This probably doesn’t come as a shock to anyone. A new body of evidence is emerging that shows women are better at just about everything or, as Dan Abrams has titled his new book “Man Down: Proof Beyond a Reasonable Doubt That Women Are Better Cops, Drivers, Gamblers, Spies, World Leaders, Beer Tasters, Hedge Fund Managers, and Just About Everything Else.”
As Abrams notes, women are better soldiers because they complain about pain less. They’re less likely to be hit by lightning because they’re not stupid enough to stand outside. They remember words and faces better. They’re better spies because they’re better at getting people to talk candidly.
Look at the evidence: Hillary Clinton has proved a more-than capable secretary of state. Elizabeth Warren has been a leading champion against the banks. Sheila Bair, a chairman of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., has played hardball with the boys club.
And what about Sarah Palin? There were 24,000 emails released this weekend and not one crotch shot.
This is deflating news for us men, but there is hope. We still lead the field in an important category, one that women are woefully behind in: We still lead the field in self-destructing because of pride, overconfidence, hubris and ego.
So, go ahead ladies. Make the money. You’re better at it. We men will just make inappropriate comments, send you lewd photos and make asses of ourselves. That’s why we created Facebook and Twitter.
It’s what we’re good at.

DBS Vickers is offering a brokerage fee of only 0.18% or a minimum sum of $18 for buying local stocks. This is significantly cheaper than the next cheapest brokerage fee which is offered by Citibank at $22. Apart from that, brokerages usually charge $25 as the minimum sum for each transaction and the DBS Vickers is offering a good deal indeed.
The only catch here is that you must put cash upfront in your brokerage account first before making any purchase of stocks. This will mainly affect people who do trade on contra but it will not affect investors who take a long term view on their purchase of stocks.
Personally, I am quite tempted by this offer indeed and I may open an account with DBS Vickers. After all, there are no charges involved in opening a brokerage account but I'm wondering if other brokerages will respond with a similiar offer soon.

Thanks for the recommendation bro!
Yeah I did check out City Index, very low commission, only $10 per trade regardless of size. Sounds very attractive, but the catch? They are market makers. You are trading with the house ie. City Index, and not trading with the real underlying market. I really don't like that idea.
MF Global and Ig Markets have direct market access and so they are not market makers.
But commission is the pain, 0.18% for MF Global, 0.2% for Ig Markets. Nevermind, that is the cost of doing business as a trader.

Need to do actual calculation for each trade before deciding which platform to use.
wow, maybe can consider this one.....

Actually those few extra dollars is not a big deal, I think the person that services your account is more important.
It's always good to be able to call someone that can solve your problems when u urgently need the matter resolved.

You are right on. If you check your trade values, you will find OCBC is more expensive than DBS sec. in commission and fees. The most expensive brokerage I discovered is Phillips Securities (Poems) who have large vol of clients and not interested to even retain you if you make a fuss over their high charges. To counter the problem of paying more for your trades, trade less with the expensive ones and more with the cheaper ones. You should compare their charges, and try to save as much as possible because in the long run the amount can run into several thousand if not tens of thousand of dollars.
