Ellen's Investment Club

Please find the link below for the next edition of the Ellen's Degenerates Investment Challenge. I hope to see all of our members taking up the challenge, even if you don't regularly come to the meetings, it continues to be a safe, but great way to try out different strategies, and/or try something you wouldn't normally do with your own money.  You may not win the prize, but you'll certainly learn something about investing, and as I did in the first challenge, what type of investor I am.
