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.  Introduction to Investing is highly recommended prior to this class, but is not required. The sessions are:     Selecting the Best Companies - Learn to recognize high-quality growth stocks using the Stock Selection Guide.     Determining a Fair Price - Continue the examination of the Stock Selection Guide to determine the potential return of a stock.     Estimating Future Growth - This session provides guidance on how to make reasonable, conservative projections of future sales and earnings growth rates     Estimating Future P/Es - This session provides guidelines to help you make reasonable projections for future high and low P/Es and determine if the stock is a buy, sell, or hold.     Practice Session - Practice what you have learned. Using current information, this interactive practice session will reinforce the principles provided in the day's sessions. Whether you use Toolkit, the on-line Core SSG, or the on-line SSG Plus, you will gain a better understanding of how the Stock Selection Guide helps you determine whether the company is a quality company trading at a fair price.

The Board of Directors is made up of a great group of dedicated people. We work hard to offer classes, the model investment club, our annual Investors Education Day, club visits and other services. We meet monthly online. We strive to keep our meetings short and focused on our mission -- serving you. To continue these kinds of education programs, we need some new volunteers and board members.  What we need most are associate directors, who serve one year in a non-voting capacity and then, if they are interested, move up to a full director position the following year.
