Investment Clubs

Investment clubs have become increasingly popular since the media took hold of the impressive–albeit inaccurate–performance reported by the Beardstown Ladies Business and Professional Women’s Investment Club in 1993. They advertised an incorrect 10-year average annual return of 23% in their book, The Beardstown Ladies’ Common-Sense Investment Guide, which actually turned out to be their two-year average. Since then, investment clubs have cropped up all over the country, creating wealth for novice investors from blue-collar workers to blue-haired widows.
