Woman With Portfolio is designed for a growing community of women who are interested in investing wisely. We've learned that we can't always count on Social Security, fairy godmothers, the lottery or even the men in our lives to provide us with financial security. And even those of us with abundant incomes need to learn how to make the most of what we have.

We are concerned with ensuring not only our own futures, but also those of our children and of our planet, by investing in companies that look out for their shareholders, their employees, and the environment.

We are not day traders or would-be overnight millionaires. We think patience pays off.

We use our strengths. Many of us tend to be good at spotting trends, finding bargains and recognizing malarky when we see it. These can be terrific assets in investing. Call it intuition, intelligence or good judgment, we think women actually have a tactical advantage in investing, particularly when we share our knowledge and do our homework.
