Need Investing Tips?

The Moorestown Library, through a partnership with Better Investing, is offering a series of seminars on how to invest wisely.

The South Jersey chapter of Better Investing—a national nonprofit educational organization—has started a Model Investment Club at the Moorestown Library from 7-8:30 p.m. on Monday evenings (Sept. 17, Oct. 15 and Nov. 19).

The initial meeting provided a description of a Model Investment Club, how it operates, and how you can become a participant or observer.

If you’d like to become actively involved as you learn more about the process of investing and feel empowered by your financial decisions, join as an active participant. If you first wish to be an informed consumer to better understand the decisions of your financial advisor, then join as an observer.  

The first two meetings are designed to introduce you to and better acquaint you with the world of better investing. By the third meeting, you’ll be learning the step-by-step tools for analyzing and selecting the best companies in which to invest and for managing a portfolio.  

As a participant or observer, you will have access to investing tools, educational seminars and two investment publications on the Better Investing website.

Become an active investor or an informed observer and invest with confidence. Join us and share in the experience of learning together.

If you have any questions, call Carla Krasnick at 856-235-0813.  

Participation is free, but space is limited. To reserve a spot, call Moorestown Library at 856-234-0333.
