Please mark your calendars for the next local chapter meeting, scheduled for 9:30 AM Saturday May 7, 2011 in Durham - see below for directions. Your homework assignment, if you choose to accept it: read “The Big Short” by Michael Lewis, so we can discuss at the meeting.
I'll post a reminder update as the time draws closer, with a strawman agenda as well as directions and timing. For now just wanted to let folks know the date so as to get it on your calendars.
Could you please let me know if you're planning to attend? That way we can best estimate how many to prepare for.
Just FYI, after each of the previous meetings I posted a short summary... in case these are of interest, please check towards the end of these topics:
February 12, 2011
November 6, 2010
July 31, 2010
April 17, 2010
January 16, 2010
October 10, 2009
Also FYI for those local 'heads not already on the list, I set up a Yahoo "rtpbogleheads" email list for our local chapter. Please consider joining the list to help our chapter communications (see below for joining details). From the group's description:
rtpbogleheads Yahoo Group Addresses are:Welcome to the yahoo group of the Research Triangle Park, North Carolina Area Bogleheads Chapter. The Bogleheads are an investing and personal finance interest group inspired by the example of Jack Bogle, the founder of the Vanguard mutual fund company.
This list is primarily to foster easy communications among our local chapter members, in particular regarding reminders and logistics on upcoming meetings which we hope to hold approximately quarterly. All are encouraged to continue use the national forum (bogleheads.org) for most postings.
Please stick to the spirit of the national chapter's forum policies and etiquette: basically, keep to investing topics and stay away from politics. Further details on posting etiquette can be found here: http://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=405
Initially this list will be configured to allow through all member postings in an un-moderated fashion, though adjustments may be made later as deemed appropriate by the list manager.
If you're interested to know of other local Boglehead chapters, please see the Google Map maintained by Mel Lindauer at http://www.lostsprings.com/diehards/chapters/
Thank you!
