Summary

As the heartland's Beardstown Ladies Club showed the world, there's not just strength in numbers -- there's added profits, too! That's why people all over the country are banding together and pooling their money to form investment clubs -- one of the most popular new modes of investing today. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Investment Clubs walks readers through all the steps they need to found or join an investment club, from finding prospective club members and drafting a partnership agreement to selecting stocks for study and purchase and keeping the club up and running. It also offers savvy tips on how to build a portfolio, how (and when) to invest in mutual funds, and how to use computer software and online resources in one's club, as well as advice on dollar cost averaging, when to sell, reinvesting considerations, and much more. For everyone looking to get on the investment-club bandwagon -- and profit! -- here's the place to start.
