Blonde Investment Group

[phatomch]

I'd like to get involved, because it's always intrigued me and this seems a relatively gentle entrance into the market. How are the funds going to be managed? £25 a month is £300 a year, plus potential earnings. With twenty people involved, that's £6000. A lot of money. I'll be happy to go with a reputable person if they're supported by other members of the community.

Which is one of the reasons why I wanted Tighty involved. He  knows what he's doing (even though he has shares in Blonde which worries me somewhat )and I would trust him with my life's savings.

Should be fun, as mentioned in the other thread, I'm in. I'm not investing too much at the moment though so if it's much more than the £25/£50 pm, I'm probably not in.

A separate board on here would do, just give access to it to those in the club.  Saves having another forum to log in to elsewhere daily

Is this possible, to have a locked thread on here where only our members could access, it would sort out 1 of the start up issues ?

Has everyone lost interest in this already ??

I'm probs still interested but have zero knowledge so not going to be any use setting it up

Okay, so we've got a few interested in punting a few pounds per month. How about we all do a bit of reading on the subject then come back in a week or so. We might be better placed to know what we need to do to get started and can take the first few, faltering steps to bankruptcy fame & fortune.

Here's some links that may be of use:

I take it we're all still formulating our thoughts on this?

I've done a little reading. It seems we can only have 20 members max for tax reasons and other complications that more members bring. There are 16 names on this thread's OP is everyone still interested?

The Proshare Investment Club Manual appears to be the bible in all such matters and we probably need to buy a copy to progress matters further - in a safe and secure manner. I'm willing to buy it and pdf it (or the salient points if size dictates) for distribution to (prospective) members.

We'll need a 'treasurer's' bank account and a broker. Has anyone got any thought's in these areas.

As regards meetings, I think the fact we're far-flung around the country means we'll have to be forum-based largely. Perhaps we could have bi-annual get togethers attached to blonde bashes? Is there a possibility we could have a separate section of blonde for our discussions - a bit like the mod's boards? Or is someone willing and able to set up a separate mechanism, probably a separate forum?

A subscription of £25 per month sounds about right but personally (and I'm not sure whether it's allowed) I don't see why we can't all pay different, set amounts (to suit individual pockets) and all the profits/losses are worked out on a pro-rata basis. Should be moderately easy to administer with the help of a spreadsheet.

This could be great fun if we take the time to do it properly and go into it with our eyes open - be a shame for the idea to wither and die.

I would like to get this organised, but i wouldn't have a clue where to start to be honest. Regarding having a serperate forum for this, we would clearly need to clear this with the management as it were.

The shareholder meetings at blonde bashes, seems to me the only logical solution.
