Investment Clubs and NAIC

I belong to an investment club which started in 1990. In the past ten years our portfolio has performed quite nicely. We even got a little publicity back in January 1996: (sorry some of the article is cut-off...it is simply too big for my scanner.) Click on the thumbnails for full-size image.

Section 1	Section 2	Section 3
...naturally my 'best quote' is cut-off. "It's very important for women to get involved in the finances," said Makos before Glein jumped in to finish the thought. "After all, we live longer and inherit all the money, : Glein said. (I don't remember saying that, but I don't doubt that I did!)

Our membership is now about 15 women, which is a comfortable size. Between the club, and our personal portfolio, we follow:

I use Stock Analyst when I prepare the computer generated Stock Selection Guides for our group, and Prospector and the NAIC Ž S&P/Compustat Ž Data Files when searching for new investment opportunities. I used to participate on the Investorama discussion boards as a volunteer. That site is gone now, but I sure enjoyed it.
