The University of Virginia held symposium in last month that featured Paul Tudor of Tudor Investment Corporation, Julian Robertson of Tiger Management and John Griffin of Blue Ridge Capital.

The question was posed as to why the panel included only rich, white, middle aged men.

Paul Tudor Jones took on the question and unfortunately suggested that trading requires intense focus, and many women lose the ability for that once they have children. “No comment” would likely have been a better choice.
