Highly focused learning opportunities, time-tested investing principles, and proven investing tools enable NAIC members nationwide to take ownership of their own financial futures. BetterInvesting makes no stock recommendations and receives no commissions or fees from member investing activities. Their sole purpose is to support and empower individual investors. HISTORY What began as an experiment more than 60 years ago is clearly working. Large numbers of people have become successful investors, building and maintaining their wealth by following four basic principles: 1. Invest a set amount regularly. 2. Reinvest earnings, dividends and profits. 3. Invest in quality growth stocks and equity mutual funds. 4. Diversify your investments The first three of these principles are 10 years older than NAIC itself. In fact, NAIC was formed to help spread the word that the principles work and can help anyone become a successful lifetime investor. The late George A. Nicholson, Jr ., father of the modern Investment Club movement, gave the original principles to a good friend in 1939. In 1941, He joined with a couple of friends, including chairman emeritus Thomas A. O'Hara, to form the Mutual Club of Detroit investment club. The National Association of Investors Corp. was formed 10 years later to share the lessons they'd learned with new investors, nationwide. That legacy has given rise to a host of BetterInvesting programs, resources and tools that advance the mission first undertaken six decades ago—to create a nation of successful individual investors The words of freedom is a basic part of that goal. Helping individuals learn how to use the opportunity in that freedom to build a better tomorrow for themselves and their loved ones is the reason for all of our work. It's not a job. It's a campaign." MISSION: The mission of BetterInvesting is to create a nation of successful individual investors. We pursue our mission by providing highly focused learning opportunities, time-tested investing principles, and proven investing tools that empower our members to take ownership of their own financial futures. Strategic Long-Term Investing We show you how you can take vast amounts of investment information and put it into simple, actionable form. The BetterInvesting approach to investing focuses on the essential characteristics of companies and industries that drive stock value, profitability and company growth. Knowledge and confidence grow as we learn-by-doing and explore the investment potential of given companies. Good Companies at Good Prices There is no crystal ball and no guarantees in investing. Sales drive earnings and earnings drive stock price. We evaluate potential returns based on assumptions and judgments about continuing sales growth, profit margins, and the relationship between earnings and stock price. Our analysis provides a strategic framework for selecting investments and implementing a disciplined program of portfolio management. These are the building blocks of superior long term performance. BetterInvesting members accumulate the stocks of quality companies when prices are right. Portfolios are designed for risk-controlled growth and diversity. Strength of management is important and we expect the companies we select to seize opportunity and to effectively -- and profitably -- pursue growth. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
