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: "What BETA Might Tell Us About Risk "

Myiclub.com recently added a new report for clubs on BETA. Small Cap Informer published a featured article on BETA. Using this article, we will learn how BETA measures risk in the portfolio. We will compare BETA from other BI clubs and BI newsletters. Next, we will learn how we may manage the risk of a portfolio and how to use BETA to improve the potential return of the portfolio. We will then apply what we learned about BETA to the Model Club Portfolio. Finally, we will ask for your opinion about BETA on the Model Club Portfolio.
