This full-day workshop introduces the beginning investor to the tool used by investment clubs - the Stock Selection Guide (SSG). The SSG is used to determine whether a company is a good, quality company that is trading at a reasonable price. The sessions cover selecting the best companies, determining a fair price, estimating future growth and the risks and total return to be expected for a company. The final session will be an opportunity to practice using the principles learned to complete an SSG.
