5.0 out of 5 stars Sold on Investment Clubs, February 14, 2002
By Monique L'Italien (Huntington Beach, CA United States) - See all my reviews
In the past, I have considered investment clubs to be an interesting idea. But it wasn't until I started reading Investment Club for Dummies that I seriously considered starting an investment club with a group of people.

Doug Gerlach and Angele McQuade have done such a good job with this interesting, motivational book that you want to just jump in and follow their lead. Their instructions on planning, setting up, and keeping an investment club alive seem really "do-able" and worthy of our consideration.

As with other "Dummies" books, this one is simple, instructional and fun to read - even if you're not planning on joining an investment club. Along with investment club information, you will surely absorb a good measure of facts about investing in general. And, really, which one of us knows too much about investing?

5.0 out of 5 stars Investment Clubs for Dummies: Clear, Thorough, Enjoyable, August 16, 2002
By A Customer
This book answered all of the questions I had about investment clubs. Written in a casual, easily accessible way, this book gave precise and detailed information about founding or finding a club.
In the book, you'll learn about what work is actually involved with club membership; tips on assembling a group of committed people to be in a club with (plus tips on how to deal with troublesome member issues); and how to find and use investment and investment club resources to learn more about investing and to help keep your club running smoothly.
Whether you are simply interested in what investment clubs are and how they work, or you are serious about starting or joining an investment club, this book is a clearly written and fun way to learn about clubs. By going through each step of starting or becoming involved with an investment club, by dissecting the language of the legal documents your club must maintain, and by providing examples of actual investment clubs, this book covers it all, and will be an invaluable resource for the life of your club.
