The Rocky Mountain Chapter Model Investment Club online meeting begins at 6:45 pm Mountain Time, with about 15 minutes for the business portion of the model club, followed by an education presentation and a stock evaluation using judgments from the audience.

Focused on small and mid-sized companies as defined by BetterInvesting, small companies are often hard to find and evaluate. These potential gems have annual revenues of less than $10 Billion, and may not be widely followed by analysts.

Join us to learn more about running an investment club, selecting small and mid-sized companies and managing a portfolio.



Education: "Stock Splits"

Have you noticed the recent flurry of stock splits of large corporations grabbing headlines? Why is this tool being used now, since investors are able to buy "odd lots" easily and the ability to own any stock is pretty accessible to almost anyone. So, why has this "old fashioned method" of stock splits become popular again? Carol's personal experience begins with a story about a small monthly contribution that grew to a total of $1,500 in contributions and was increased to $30,000 in value due to stock splits. Her experience led Carol to make this presentation which produced as many questions as answers. Join her to learn more about the variations on stock splits.
