THE SUMMERTIME LEARNING EDITION
9 JUNE 2011
DON'T LET YOUR STOCK STUDY SKILLS GET RUSTY!
Summertime Opportunities Abound!
Your reporter, who is also Mom to an elementary-school-aged child, notes that times have changed. Even summer-times. Gone are the days of running through sprinklers and catching frogs in the backyard pond — at least, absent those three old school R's: Reading, 'Riting and ‘Rithmatic.
Yes, even as the last days of the school year approach, teachers are sending home summer study guides — complete with weekly lessons — to keep the sun from baking the thus-far acquired knowledge out of their pupils' brains.
Perhaps they're on to something. Turns out you can have your cake — or a roasted weenie over a campfire, if that be your preference — and eat it, too. From webinars to workshops, virtual investor conferences to online community chatter, Hollywood's blockbuster summer season ain't got nothin' on StockCentral!
On to more of this week's headlines . . .
IT'S TIME TO . . . NAME THAT TOPIC!
StockCentral's Next Community Workshop Theme Up for Grabs!
Summer is the perfect time to kick back with a tall glass of lemonade or, if you're more the adventurous type, try something totally new. Here at StockCentral, we place ourselves in the latter category.
The next StockCentral Workshop is just around the proverbial corner. What's the topic, you ask? Right back at ya! That's right. This time, we're going to take the idea for our next Community Forum Workshop from our readers! And we've got someone daring enough to take on whatever you throw at him: Stock Study Guru John Tonsager!
A little about John ... he is a director and president of InvestEd Incorporated and has taught basic stock analysis and advanced judgment classes at local, regional and national investor education events. He is a past president and vice president of the former BetterInvesting Minneapolis/St. Paul Chapter. He's also a member of the online CGAB Alumni Investment Club.
"I like the idea of having the readers choose," John bravely told your Gazette reporter in an exclusive interview this week. "I have lots of people, tons of resources and PowerPoints that cover every aspect of stock selection."
What have you been pondering, wish you knew a little more about, always wanted to know about stocks and stock studies? This is your chance to name that topic! E-mail your ideas to StockCentral Community Leader Amy Rauch Neilson at amy@iclub.com, and she and John will take it from there!
