A good portion of picking investments is common sense. Investment clubs give the opportunity to discuss investments rationally and deliberately. Most investors fail because they buy and sell with emotion. Investing is a process based on fundamentals and information--larger groups can (usually) see past the noise and ask the tough questions.
