Continue Your Education: Join a Free IBD Meetup Group

IBD Meetups are the fastest growing financial clubs in the United States.
The reason for this is the success many members have had as a result of join-
ing these groups, which meet once a month to discuss the CAN SLIM
Investing System.
At a typical meeting, groups will discuss the current market trend, lead-
ing stocks, and how to build a watch list. They also go over a lesson designed
by IBD Chairman and Founder Bill O’Neil, and ask questions. More sea-
soned investors help newer investors learn the system and how to succeed.

Katrina Guensch lives in an area that doesn’t have an IBD Meetup Group,
so she participates in one that has online monthly webinars: the
Chicago/Naperville IBD Meetup. She says, “The group has detailed
meetings that have really helped me learn.” Through the webinars, she
has met other investors to e-mail and discuss the current market and
leading stocks.
Gay Walsh is a TV writer and had a desire to do more with her money, so
she joined several IBD Meetup Groups in the Southern California area
and found that attending so many increased her learning curve. She said,
“Watching other people read charts was really helpful. A writer’s life can
be up and down; I wanted to establish security for retirement. IBD
Meetups have been a great resource for me.”
Carol Shontere says, “I have attended every single Thousand Oaks
Meetup since June 2010. I have been blessed to find the best of the best
with this group, including leadership from Mike Scott and Jerry Samet,
and I have learned so much.”
Prabin Bishoyi is a senior software engineer who works for IBD. He sends
out a newsletter to his group after each meeting, summarizing what was
discussed as well as what stocks were analyzed from the group’s watch list.
