The Men's Investment Club of North Macon
| Our club is a member of the National Association of Investment Clubs Corp., or NAIC. However, we've not yet matured as a club into a disciplined investment process. As the Club name implies, we sometimes suffer from excess testosterone and our choice of volatile stocks shows that. We did score on Microsoft, though, and we're roughly doubled our money in four years. Back during our earliest roll-the-dice period, we created a list of the Top Ten Alternatives to prudent and disciplined investing. |

To Disciplined Investing
| 10. Hang out in locker rooms and at
bus stops listening for "hot tips," then without delay or the hassles of seeking
information, BUY before the boat is missed. 9. Seek part ownership in Hooters or Neon Cowboy franchises---this is the "buy what you know--or wish you knew" approach. 8. Start a baseball, basketball and football pool at work. 7. Play Virtual Vegas with real money; bring laptop PC to monthly meeting. 6. Convert Investment club to Monopoly Club; place $25 each in bank, divide all board prices by ten and roll the dice. Establish rules on Free Parking UP FRONT. 5. Invest in "plastics" for Hooters staff; accept no less than 15% of tips in excess of previous 2 year's average. Closely monitor measurements and seek full disclosure (of the money!). 4. Convert Investment club to Putt-Putt club. Play 18 holes for $1 a hole every month. 3. Design a Stock Selection and Buy/Sell/Stand decision dart board (see below). Just think of all the time to be saved in research and discussion! 2. Buy $25 worth of lottery tickets per month. Diversify between Cash3, Fantasy5, Lotto and Power Ball. Just go with your hunch on half, quick picks on the other.
