Last night my women's investment club met for our monthly meeting and it was a working meeting. After diner and our regular meeting, one of our founding members lead an introduction workshop on stock research and study for our newest members. Our club has come up with our own set of criteria for choosing a stock. Our club is registered with the National Association of Investment Clubs (NAIC) and we do following Better Investing's stock study model for the most part. Over the years our club ha been visited by several guest speakers on the subject of stock study and our club has our own personality around stock research. Last night we focused on researching stocks that pay dividends.
We discussed our last reading assignment: Suze Orman's 2009 Action Plan. I wrote a book review and you can read it here on my blog, if you are interested. We chose another book to read. It is called The Whole Kitt and Caboodle: A Painless Journey to Investment Enlightenment, by Susan Laubach.
I took on the role of retreat coordinator and I will be planning our next investment retreat. Also our newest member ha taken on the role of Community Outreach Coordinator - she is going to find an avenue for us to volunteer a day to help women and or children is some capacity before the year-end.
It was a very productive meeting! There is much to do over the several weeks and I am feeling very enthusiastic about all of it! ... what a nice way to feel when it comes to money and investing -- I love it!
Make it a great day!
