You don't have to be Ben Bernanke or Warren Buffett to be a good investor, as a matter of fact you probably know more than you think right now. 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.DashThu, 20 Sep 2007 13:07:42 -0000http://ybpguide.com/2007/09/18/investment-clubs-part-i/#comment-2415112Dash you kinda confirm ETS's concerns. Why would anyone want to join a club filled with people with no knowledge?Dav K.Wed, 19 Sep 2007 19:10:12 -0000http://ybpguide.com/2007/09/18/investment-clubs-part-i/#comment-2415114ETS -- The beauty of investment clubs is that you don't have to have a lot of investment knowledge. That's actually the best by product of joining/starting one. Props on finding an advisor you trust but its always good to know a little bit about the game you are playing.DashWed, 19 Sep 2007 14:04:11 -0000http://ybpguide.com/2007/09/18/investment-clubs-part-i/#comment-2415113Good stuff man. Never heard of these. Although I'd be a bit nervous about joining one. I'm not that informed when it comes to investing, so I dont have many tips to offer. Plus I trust the advisors I have now. I'd hate to leave them for people like me.ETSWed, 19 Sep 2007 12:45:21 -0000
