Welcome to the Club Room!
Here you can find out more about Investment Clubs and
other
educational resources for the individual investor:
newsletters,
discussion forums and newsgroups. Then take a swing
'round
our ring of investment club sites on the Webring!
There's a vast amount of
information on-line about and for
investment clubs. Try some of these services (and send us
your
favorites)!
First, take a look at the
National
Association of Investment Clubs (NAIC)
and its links (e.g. email newsletter, newsgroup, investment
analysis and club accounting software).
To find other investment clubs, try:
- Investorama
- extremely comprehensive directory of
7,000+ investment sites, including many investment clubs
- The Motley Fool -
possibly the largest "investment club"
of all (or at least most popular investment
"newsletter"),
with free Bulletin Boards for new clubs, and
excellent
archives of postings on companies.

club's listing
 Starting Your Own On-line Investment Club
You can now easily start up your own Investment
Club on-line!
There are a number of new ways to do this:
- Yahoo
Clubs: here you can create a public or
private club, including chat, bulletin boards and instant
email (buddy systems).
- IClub:
this is still new (as of 11/30/98), but holds a
lot of promise by customizing your own investment club,
with resources for the individual/club investor.
- Motley Fool:
as described above, this allows for creating
on-line investment clubs too.

Investment Newsletters, Discussion Forums &
Newsgroups:
There are a plethora of investment newsletters, but first
you
might take a look at some of the news groups and
discussion
forums shown below. To begin with, our favorites:
Usenet Newsgroups on Investing
Newsgroups provide one of the fastest ways to learn
about
investing, and Internet sources. You'll just need an
email
program (like MS Outlook Express) to subscribe to one of
the
following investment newsgroups:
"Usenet is the wild frontier of the
Internet. Anything goes (and usually
does) in these investing newsgroups. If you can get through
the noise,
you'll find some smart investors who are willing to share
their
knowledge with you. The trouble comes in trying to tell the
good guys
from the bad." (source of quote and directory list:
Investorama)
Deja
News. Search UseNet news archives
for posts on any topic.
Investment Discussion Forums:

discussion

draw the following:
