Let's face it. Traditional stock message boards are largely a waste of time. The investment ability of the participants and the quality of the information provided are generally poor. Traditional Wall Street research is also of little use. Analyst recommendations are usually compromised by investment banking relationships, poor research and institutional group think. Additionally, most analysts ignore smaller capitalization stocks, out-of-favor opportunities, and companies undergoing restructurings, recapitalizations, spinoffs or other extraordinary changes-investment areas that can be extremely lucrative for individuals who do their own research.
Since the Value Investors Club will be an investment forum for only 250 pre-selected savvy investors whose only qualification is the quality of their investment research and thinking, all admitted members should find the club an invaluable resource. Scientists, lawyers, physicians, engineers, technologists, financiers, entrepreneurs, professionals from all disciplines, as well as businessmen and women, will each add their own perspective on investing to the club discussion. However, every member will be well-versed in financial analysis and investments.
Great investment ideas will be shared and discussed on a daily basis. Once again, the benefits of the club are free but admission is highly selective.
