The Global Investment Club seeks to educate its partners though consensus buying and selling decisions on the club’s stock portfolio.

In general, we follow the NAIC investment philosophies:

  1. Invest regularly
  2. Choose quality growth stocks at a reasonable price
  3. Diversify

Each month we select 5 companies in an industry to research. NAIC’s Stock Selection Guide, the Value Line Investment Survey, quarterly and annual fundamental analysis, and pertinent news stories provide the basis for comparison. Our club selects stocks to own that demonstrate sustainable growth around 15% annually.

These research assignments reflect our commitment to maintaining the portfolio’s diversity across industries and market caps.
