The fact is, it's your money and no-one knows better than you how important that is. With every member of the club, experience or no, researching and working for the club, favourable returns need not be a pipe dream.The Fool's Guide to Investment Clubs tells you all you need to know about investment clubs and how they work, how to get one started with friends, colleagues, neighbours and how to keep it running and stay on top of the accounts. Foolish advice abounds on investing in the stock market, choosing stocks and shares and what to make of those alternative suggestions that are sure to crop up from time to time--"part-ownership of a racehorse? Leave this one for Ealing comedies and Brian Rix farces." It's all bound together by tales, tips and advice from people who have been there, done that and the Foolish experience is, as always, turned up to the max. Whether you are seriously considering banding your own motley collection of misfits into an investment club, or just yearning for more of Foolish community, The Fool's Guide to Investment Clubs is the book for you.
