I think the learning is always to be valued when participating in an investment club, and has been something that I personally have benefited from. I will get into it in later posts, but one of the financial benefits to investing with a club is taking advantage of the additional capital, diversification, and compounding.

Unfortunately no, my club is not accepting new members at this time! Sorry!

As far as me, you didn’t scare me at all actually you deepened my interest in knowing more, so I am really looking forward to read the other articles and hopefully have a discussion. The biggest advantage of a club I see the learning path. That’s why I incline to the first type of investing club rather than combining money and making investments together unless you really have like minded people in your group. But, that said, if you find like minded people I am happy to join such club. Btw, are you accepting new members ?

In today’s world, I don’t believe that investment clubs are geographically limited. In my club, a couple of us, myself included, have moved several times over the last five years. Given that fact, we only meet in person about once per year as a complete group, with the rest of our communication being done digitally. Thanks for stopping by CI!

The nice thing with investment clubs is although the recommended size is 8-15 or so, you don’t have to have that many people in order for it to work. Thanks for stopping by!

Interesting read. Joining an investment club never occured to me. Finding like minded individuals would be tough I think. That and I move every 1-3 years. None the less, very interesting!

This might be something I could bring up with my dad. He’s more of a mutual fund investor though.

Cheers!

That’s an interesting idea. I could probably start one with a good friend of mine who is interested in investing as well…

Thanks for stopping by John! They really are an interesting concept and provide some outstanding opportunities for people to learn and grow together as investors. Mindset and priority level are very much the most important criteria for good members.

Evan, thanks for stopping by and commenting. I apologize for not being more specific with my “solid” group, and will actually modify the post to better represent my intent. By all means the most important thing is people who prioritize investing and have the drive to do it collectively as a group.

I don’t think you are defining what a “solid group of individuals” means. Those in my group (which I am having problems with) are solid guys. Half were in my wedding party and all were at least at my wedding – solid is one thing they are. I think it more has to do with the club holding absolutely NO priority in their life.
