In the ‘80s, I bought a stock, Liz Claiborne, a clothing line with its own separate store area, something very new then. The clothes were classic, affordable and fit me. That was the extent of my financial analysis of the company. The stock did well for a number of years. In the ‘90s, friends decided to start an investment club. We found BetterInvesting. The local and national chapter volunteers answered all our questions and mentored us as needed. There I learned, among other things, when to sell a stock — just in time. Since then this has been my “go-to” place for investor training. I'm also a volunteer now. If you want to feel confident about your investing skills, you have found your place. It’s up to you. We’re here to help. |

I’ve been a member of investment clubs and BetterInvesting for more than 25 years. I started investing as a teen and investing and financial literacy have turned into a lifelong endeavor. Investing is the great equalizer where everyone regardless of economic background, level of education, gender or ethnicity can be successful. BetterInvesting has taught me the tools and the discipline necessary to become a successful investor. I’ve been blessed to be able to show, by example, friends and family members the benefits of taking control of their financial future. This would not have been possible without BetterInvesting! |

“Where do you start? The answer is ‘Join a club.’ Being around people will provide you with the opportunity to be encouraged along the way. Being around people who have experience in investing will give you the opportunity to bounce ideas around. BetterInvesting will be able to guide you to the best opportunities for learning.” |

I found BetterInvesting through my mother, who was in an investment club. It provided me with a simple methodology that appealed to me as a numbers person and as a visual person. BetterInvesting became a family: the local chapter, the online discussion lists and stock studies. I don't know what my life would be without the BetterInvesting community. |

After investing for a few years with very little thought or strategy, I learned about BetterInvesting. I joined the Cincinnati Model Club in 2008 and learned a great deal from the BI philosophies and the dedicated members. My portfolio has vastly improved — beating the major indices in 2010. I now have the thought, vision and tools necessary to be a successful investor. |

Accompanying my mother, Ann McNeill, to BetterInvesting classes at the age of 7 was the beginning of my investment education journey. Reading BetterInvesting publications encouraged me to invest as a kid, which I did with my mom’s help. Now I’m sharing the wealth of youth investing as “The Baby Billionaire.” |

I heard about BetterInvesting in an article in Consumer Reports and again in another article in The Wall Street Journal. Both sources praised it for teaching beginners the basics of investing. I've learned so much that I'm now teaching classes on mutual funds as a volunteer for the association. |

I came to BetterInvesting after reading the magazine at my local library. BetterInvesting teaches you that saving and investing doesn't require a high IQ. What it really takes is the discipline to stick with a strategy through thick and thin. BetterInvesting provides that framework. |
