CREATING YOUR FIRST INVESTMENT CLUB

An investment club is a group of people who meet at least once a month to increase their investment knowledge. They agree to contribute a predetermined amount of money which they then pool together to invest, typically, in stock market. Depending on extent of trading knowledge of members, monthly contributions can be modest, ranging between $20 and $50. Mostly, clubs of this nature are to give each member an affordable way to learn how to purchase stocks. Once you've gained enough confidence, knowledge and experience - you would normally expand outside club and create your own personal portfolio of stocks.

I'm going to share with you how easy it is to create your own investment club by sharing with you a little information about one I'm forming at this very minute. As you know, I published eBook "An Entrepreneur's Approach to Buying & Selling on Wall Street". When I began sharing some of information and stock picking strategies found in that book with some of my friends from church.

Until recently leasing companies wouldn't even think about financing transactions that included so-called "soft costs" such as custom software. Financing for hard collateral equipment were only programs available. Now however, leasing companies are beginning to change with times. Many lease/finance companies have added software financing to their traditional line of equipment leasing, allowing businesses to buy expensive, even custom-designed software, immediately, and pay for it over time.

These new programs allow a company to establish a competitive web presence without spending its cash reserves.
