The Pro’s & Con’s Of Starting Your Own Investment Club (part 2)

Amount of money to invest. Don’t think that you need a lot of money for investment purposes to start an investment club. The opposite is in fact true: you don’t need to have a lot of money to invest to start an investment club. You can set a minimal fee for each month’s contribution that is fits into your budget. You’ll have the chance to determine what the minimum monthly contribution should be each month when you have your first meeting of the investment club.

· Combined investment money. On your own you may not have enough money to invest in the stock market in a way in which you may be able to realize a profit. However, when you combine your investment dollars with the dollars of others in the investment club, you’ll have a significant amount of money to invest in the stocks that you’ve been watching and think may be successful. Keep in mind that just as there is strength in numbers there is also a shared sense of security when you’re not investing alone.

· Diplomacy. One thing that you should keep in mind is that your voice will be part of the larger group and you may not always have a say in which stocks your investment club will invest in. If you’re unable to sit back and let another decision take the place of something that you would rather see, then an investment club might not be for you. You’ll need to have the ability to let the majority rule whenever a decision is made.

· Learning experience. You should be prepared to be satisfied to never realize a profit from the stock market. One of the important goals and features of an investment club is that you benefit from the learning experience of being with other people with the same interests in the stock market. If you never make a penny you should still be pleased with your participation as part of an investment club.

Starting your own investment club will be a pleasurable, and perhaps profitable, way to spend time with other people that share the same investment passion that you do.

Your investment club will allow you to be able to learn about the stock market in a safe and secure environment with other people that understand your fascination with the stock market.
