Outside of this, fear can literally be destructive for a club. All it takes is one member voicing serious concerns about the club. This can cause a domino effect of uncertainty about the mission of the club. If club members are seriously concerned about losing money in the near-term, they should not be investing in the stock market. Leave day trading to the gamblers and mutual fund managers.
Investment clubs invest for the long term period.
If a club member plans to remove their money in less than three years, they should not be investing in the club. This way, when club stocks go down, members are anxious to buy more stock instead of wanting out of the club. Analyzing stocks has never been more important. Be sure that your club does not choose to buy or sell a stock until a proper stock study worksheet is performed by one of the members. Many clubs started getting into the habit of chasing stocks upward on recommendations or news.
