Can I start my own investment analysis club? If so how do I do that on this forum? ---

Yes, it’s ok with me, but I suspect TMF will be reluctant. If you click on the Fools cap on the upper left of your screen, you will see a list of board. Investment analysis section lists 17 boards. Metar is the only one with much activity. Easier to pick one of those, begin posting your analysis and invite friends to join in your discussion. I doubt you will find any opposition. ---

I like the idea, but only if it stays practical. I’ve joined a couple of investment clubs before and the best ones focused on process, not hot picks. Real discussion, shared mistakes, and different viewpoints matter more than performance screenshots. I think beginners benefit most when experienced members actually explain how they think, not just what they buy. Otherwise it turns into noise pretty fast. ---

I think its sad we don’t have more discussion of investments on these boards. I’ve been posting mine on Liquid Lounge. [https://discussion.fool.com/t/3-month-gain-dec-19-2025/122638](https://discussion.fool.com/t/3-month-gain-dec-19-2025/122638) ---

Steve, One of the grim realities that plague beginning investors isn’t their tiny money, but their tiny time and their tiny willingness to make the mistakes that are needed to be made if the investing/trading game is to be learned. From where do they get that attitude about mistakes? From the schools, which penalizes them for every “mistake” they make. Hence, what they learn in school is conformity, not ‘risk management’, which is the essence of investing or trading. The other essence of investing and trading is that, as the late, great economist, Yogi Berra, quipped, _“It’s hard to make predictions, especially about the future.”_ and investing or trading is nothing but making bets about the outcome of some future event. _“What to buy?”_ is the most frequent question beginners ask. But it’s the wrong question. The proper question is this. _“If given shares of company XYZ, what do you do? Do you hold? Sell? or buy more?”_ Fortunately, beginners can create such a game for themselves, and they can do so on the other guy’s nickel. If they use Schwab’s promo (linked below) and open an account with $100, they will be given five stocks worth $50 they will immediately have to make a decision about. They can cash them in. They can hold them. Or they could use some of their own money to buy more of the ones they now own or buy different ones by using Schwab’s “Slices” program. Making small bets in the stock market isn’t going achieve gains anyone can retire on. But making those small bets enables one to gain the experience needed to manage bigger money. Thus, as the proverb goes, _“The journey of 1,000 miles begins with the first step.”_ That first step for anyone not already investing, but who might want to learn how, would be to open such an account as Schwab offers and then find a trading buddy to whom they have to explain why they are holding the stocks they are, or why they sold them, or why they bought more or different ones. And as you note, the forums hosted by the Motley Fool are a good place to begin that explaining and that learning journey. > **[Charles Schwab](https://www.schwab.com/investing-starter-kit)** ---

Simon Sez 4.0 rules 1. Buy when the 20 ema crosses over the 200 ema by line of sight, or what is recommended by the scanning tools that can help quickly. 2. Ride it out all the way to the very first price label and sell at the Finish Line. 3. Or buy when the 34 ema crosses up and over the 55 ema, and let it ride to the very end when the 34 ema crosses back down over the 55 ema line. Patience and Discipline are a must 4. There will be times one has to SELL at a loss. 5. Batting average is greater than 995 percent. ---
