Education

Picture
      This season runs from September through May. During that time we offer a four-session presentation for Beginners, https://begin19.eventbrite.com
plus we give eight presentations each season from an array of subjects relating to stock investing (see the list below).
      After a short break, we follow each subject presentation with a step-by-step demonstration of a Computer Aided Stock Analysis (CASA). Our subject presentations and our Computer Aided Stock Analysis (CASA) presentations begin on the same Saturday as our first Chapter meeting. Click the SCHEDULE button above for details.

      All of the topics listed below are straight forward and require only math skills learned in High School. All of our presentations and Power Point Shows are developed by Better Investing volunteers and designed and presented in such a way as to appeal to everyone from novice to experienced investor.
      As an example, the presentation at the bottom of the list (Income Statements, Cash Flow Statements, and Balance Sheets) might seem like a high wall to climb, but most people don't realize that everyone of us, at some time during the year, will create our own Income Statement, Cash Flow Statement, and Balance Sheet without even realizing we are doing it.
      We take away the mystery and make it easy to understand.
