This Wednesday's 5:30PM Meeting at Bobby Q's

SCHEDULE:
5:30PM ARRIVAL, get a drink and/or appetizer
6:00PM BEGIN PRESENTATION UPSTAIRS
7:00PM-8:00PM END MEETING, HAVE DINNER

Greetings,

The meeting this Wednesday will highlight the “January Effect” as interpreted by group member David Brandman. David has been successfully utilizing this powerful technique for his own account over the years and should be a great presentation. David performs investment screens to find a list of perhaps 5-10 stocks to invest in over the period of November to December and looks for a strong outperformance of these stocks in the opening months of the new year. David’s track record with this strategy is eye-popping, so I am eager to see what you all think.

As a reminder, the way I envision this group being a powerful, money-making gathering is for us all to SHARE what trends we see in motion and to step up to the microphone and give us a quick “elevator speech” on the idea. As we all share ideas in an organized fashion, we will all have some powerful ammunition. Most importantly, know that no one is right all the time and there is no booby-prize even if all your ideas don’t work. Stop loss orders take care of losing ideas. Remember, NO IDEA is “better” than another. Some ideas are culled out of in-depth research and others can be observations that a certain store is much busier than the others (Can you say “Panera Bread” in Norwalk?)

I look forward to handing out the WINNING PRIZE for the October 10th “best pick”. I figured out a new way to add some more fun to that contest, so here is what I came up with. I’ll give you 1 guess for free, which equates to a value of $2. You can buy more guesses at a price of $2 each, no limit. I imagine this will have to get “registered” with the state of Connecticut if we get too many members. Hope that good to you too.

Last month’s meeting did not include a simulated “portfolio” but perhaps we can explore that option again at this Month’s meeting.

After the October meeting finished at 8PM, a group of us gathered for dinner downstairs to the great waitress services by Crystal.

Looking forward to seeing you all there.

Please email twest@compocapital.com so I know how much space to set up for us at the restaurant.

Best regards,
