Safety in Numbers: Start An Investment Club

Posted on Tuesday, October 16, 2012 by Saratoga_Library

 

The old adage “there’s safety in numbers” can be applied to investment clubs in more ways 

than one. An investment club is a group of individual investors who come together to 

learn, share investing experiences and help each other become more successful investors. 

Clubs provide education, camaraderie and buying power, plus the confidence of knowing 

you don’t have to go it alone. This workshop will review the ins and outs of starting an 

investment club and the advantages of learning and earning with a group.
