Madison Darbyshire - FT
With $1,000 in savings and two US government stimulus checks, Chris Zettler began investing in 2020. First he bought companies he knew, he says, "but then I got bored with it". He moved on to call options in companies with volatile share-prices, riding the price swings. He used a win to buy 100 shares in the meme stock AMC at $30 in May and sold at about $65 in June.

| | | | | | Miscellaneous | | | In Times of Stress, Female Fund Managers Take Less Risk Than Men â For the Same Performance; Fund investors don't receive compensation for the higher risk that male managers take on, according to new research.
Jessica Hamlin - Institutional Investor
Female fund managers tend to play it safe during periods of negative market sentiment, while male investors take on more risk. But in the end, their risk-adjusted performance is the same, according to new research.
Those are the findings of researchers who set out to determine the differences between the risk-taking of male and female portfolio managers when markets are under stress, which often presents good buying opportunities. The question is an important one as some of the best investors, those with the highest risk-adjusted, long-term returns, are contrarians who aren't afraid to put money to work during crises. Although academics have long studied the role of gender in retail investors' risk-taking behavior, far less research has been done on the behavior of individuals at institutions.
