*Kit* That’s a good point, and I’ll tread carefully until I know whether or not I’m comfortable with the group’s goals and choices.

I have just resigned from the investment club I was involved with. It was a great learning experience but after a couple of years I became disheartened with some of the investment choices made by the membership. They didn’t sit well with my morals and values (we had stock in both a firearms manufacturer and a payday loan company). I suggest you research carefully this kind of thing if it’s important to you at all. I believe it’s possible to be socially responsible and still make money!

I know, I could ask, huh? I’m still not sure how I feel about mixing friends and money, though. May as well ask! I’ll let you know if there are any updates!

I started an investment club with a few friends back in college. We purchased some shares of AAPL back then. The club should be doing quite well if we only knew how to track it down now….

You know, you might ask him if you can join the club he is in. People drift in and out of clubs so they might be interested in having a new member. Couldn’t hurt to ask.

Ooh, inspired a whole post! Thanks for the comprehensive answer. I chat about finances with train friends and heard just enough about his investment club to pique my interest. I’ll look into these links, but have not had any luck rounding up anyone who’s interested in learning more about stocks.
