Stock Market Investment*
Investment Clubs
Being a member of a stock market investment club is like having
hands-on control of your own mutual fund. Each club member contributes
money on a monthly basis and the group meets periodically to
discuss investments and make investment decisions.
Knowledge Is Power For Profit
Being a member of a stock market investment club is like having
hands-on control of your own mutual fund. Each club member contributes
money on a monthly basis and the group meets periodically to
discuss investments and make investment decisions. Investment
clubs can be a very valuable educational tool as long as they
utilize good sources of information.
When a group of New York women got together in 1993 to form
an investment club, they didn't know a lot about the stock market.
They started the club for education -- pooling their knowledge
and gaining more information about investing. But, at a recent
meeting, they chatted about price-earnings ratios, growth trends
in half-a-dozen industries, roller-coaster stock indexes and
how all of this was affecting their $120,000 investment club
portfolio.
Nationwide,
clubs are urged to follow four principles:
• Invest a set amount regularly, usually monthly,
regardless of market conditions.
• Reinvest all dividends
and capital gains.
• Buy growth stocks or growth
stock mutual funds.
• Diversify into different industries
and different-sized companies.
It's
a fact -- women are better investors
At present, more than two-thirds members of investment clubs
are women. The investments of the women-only clubs tend to outperform
the men-only groups. Perhaps this is because women, traditionally
the buyers in their households, are accustomed to looking for
the best quality of goods and services that the money available
to them will buy, a major factor in profitable investing. Some
believe that women also appear to be more patient than men,
allowing women to buy and hold stocks even in volatile markets-another
positive investing strategy.

Do your homework before
investing
The most prosperous investment clubs make profitable investments
because they do their homework before buying and keep close
track of the performances of their investments. Investment
clubs are a great way for a small group of people to pool
their knowledge and systematically invest small dollar amounts
for long-term profits.
Investment clubs are a great way to network with local investors
in your community. |
