Not everyone's investment portfolio is a wreck these days. Experts say many women are hanging tough in today's market, because they tend to take fewer risks, know when to let go of sour stock and nurture investments -- unlike their male counterparts.
According to researchers, while men invest to make money, savvy sisters invest to keep what they put in. Women generally plunk more dough into long-term funds that will ride out the current market roller coaster.
But each gender's tendencies toward risk and reservation might be the perfect blend for making successful investments. Brooke Harrington, a sociologist at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, found while writing her book "Pop Finance" that men and women who invest together earn two percent more than those who go it alone.
Tell us: Are you a better investor than your male partner? Is he ballsier about where to risk money? What are you doing differently with your investments now that the economy's in crisis?
