Wow! The forums are really taking off. I may have to start looking for some moderators soon. I hope some of the forums power-users will volunteer for it.
I wanted to bring this Meetup in Chicago to your attention.
If you prefer dividends for your income, Dividend Growth Investor posted a nice overview on dividend investing.
Is there a Houston meetup?
Hi,
I agree with a lot of your statements, and think others are silly 
, but I am curious as to how you have been doing lately in the investment game? Over the last 5 years I have made 0.3% return on my investment with a financial adviser,so I won’t be retiring any time soon on that. I am curious if you can recommend any good investment books which can teach me to invest for myself. I have tried to find many of them, only to find them cover soft psychological topics. I haven’t found a book that explains how to evaluate a company from a-z. I even read Security Analysis and Intelligent Investor, and while profound books, fail to teach how to evaluate a company. I almost want to get a job as an analyst to learn the skills needed to invest for myself and retire sooner rather than later. I am 27, so i can take some chances!
@ERE User – Not yet. You can suggest one in the forums. There’s now a New York City meetup as well.
@broj1 – I think Payback Time is a better way for a modern reader. It shows you how to analyze statements online. I think many of the 10Q/K statements have become pretty complex. Here’s a link to it.

Jacob : Where do you reside?
I recommend we meet within walking distance of Union Station or another station as I will commute by train from NW Suburbs. Parking is too expensive in the city. I don’t live in the city so if someone can suggest a good place it would be great to meet like minded folks:)Please provide full address when decided.
@The Good Lifer – I recommend doing all the planning in the forum. It seems that most of the activity wrt to meetups goes on there.
