About This Author

Carol Flake Chapman is the creator and editor of Woman with Portfolio: The Smart Woman’s Online Guide to Investing, which you can view at (http://www.womanwithportfolio.com). A well known journalist and book author who was one of the founding editors of Vanity Fair Magazine, she has turned her investigative and trend-spotting skills to investing. Her moment of truth came as she was on her way to sign away her life’s savings to an unscrupulous broker and got a traffic ticket for speeding. She realized she needed to slow down and learn about investing with the same tenacity she had used to earn a Ph.D, to win medals for road racing, and to work her way to the top of the journalism world. As she not only survived but thrived in the stock market, she soon realized that she could share what she had learned with other women. Woman with Portfolio is the result of her dream to build an online community of women investors and to create a place where women could learn about investing without all the usual hype and jargon that turns us off.
