HEAR YE, HEAR YE
STOCKCENTRAL'S FIRST MEMBER
Write it in the sky with gossamer teardrops: StockCentral has its first paying customer.
The eminent Robert Wilkinson, Treasurer of the Investors In Action club in Minneapolis, MN will now be remembered evermore as the first brave soul to strive confidently into the breach.
Yes, dear readers, the first of the 90-day trials have begun to expire, and StockCentral subscriptions are available for outright purchase. When you renew for a scant $39.99/year, you'll continue to have access to all the StockCentral investing tools you've grown to love (plus all the new features the ICLUB geniuses have in the pipeline), not to mention the high-quality data service. (Have you used it in Toolkit 5?)
Like Virgil always said, "Fortune favours the bold." Join with Robert, and renew your subscription today. As soon as this reporter collects his winnings from the track, he will do the same.
WHITHER THE COMPUFESTS OF YESTERYEAR?
(HINT: ORANGE COUNTY)
ICLUBcentral Generalissimo Douglas Gerlach sheds some light on CompuFest, InvestEd, and ongoing investor education in his StockCentral blog, Ask Doug:
"For 16 years, CompuFest was the leading national educational conference for investors who were interested in how to use computers, software, and the Internet to research and analyze stocks. When CompuFest was discontinued by the powers that be at NAIC, the group of volunteers who had been committed to organizing the event for so many years decided that it would be a shame to let that stellar track record be flushed down the drain.
"And so was born InvestEd -- long-term investing education at its best! This year, InvestEd will be held in sunny Costa Mesa, CA (that's right between Los Angeles and Anaheim), August 17-19, 2007..."
Well, that certainly clears things up. InvestEd is indeed a product of the same team that brought you CompuFest, and the commitment to investor education has never been stronger. Visit the official InvestEd website for full details, including information on classes, instructors, and corporate presenters.
Also of particular note is the extention of the Early-Bird discount -- you're still eligible for $30 savings on InvestEd registration through the end of June (on top of the $10 you save as a StockCentral member). Register instantly online, or download a PDF form.
WHEN TO SELL?
ELLIS TRAUB TO LEAD UPCOMING WORKSHOP
When to sell? When to cash out? When to take your ball and go home? It's questions like these that have vexed the best and brightest of us for centuries, everyone from Napoleon, to Richard Nixon, to that chap who hosts American Idol. Luckily for us, we have the mind of Ellis Traub at our disposal.
Ellis is a familiar name to most of you, as he's been a major player in the fundamental investing world for decades. He's also the brains behind successful software programs like Take Stock and Investor's Toolkit, among others.
Next month, Ellis will lend the StockCentral Community his considerable expertise on the "When to Sell" gambit. Visit the StockCentral Events calendar for full details.
(Have an investing event you'd like to publicize on StockCentral? stockcentral@stockcentral.com">Email the StockCentral team with the details, and they'll post it to the calendar -- accessible to everyone, even non-members.)
THIS REPORTER WONDERS WHAT HIS PORTFOLIO LOOKED LIKE
"During the first period of a man’s life the greatest danger is: not to take the risk. When once the risk has really been taken, then the greatest danger is to risk too much."
