Re: Any Bogleheads in Little Rock, AR?
No sir, just you! And you're also the only boglehead named "Brad" in Little Rock.
Re: Any Bogleheads in Little Rock, AR?
Well, at least there won't be much arguing at the meetings..........
Re: Any Bogleheads in Little Rock, AR?
Now I see.....glad there's two of us, at least. I would like to start a local group, but honestly have no clue what we would discuss.

If you get five or more Little Rock (or vicinity) Bogleheads who are interested in forming a Local Chapter and one of you is willing to volunteer to be the Local Chapter Coordinator, let me know via PM and I'll get your group set up and listed on the Local Chapters Map so others can find and contact you.
(The Coordinator doesn't have to be an investing guru; he/she simply communicates with the members about meeting locations, dates, times, etc.)

That's entirely up to each chapter to decide. Normally, there are discussions on various investing topics, Q&A sessions, educational presentations, etc.BradJ wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2018 4:41 pmWhat do Local Chapters actually do?Mel Lindauer wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2018 12:57 pm If you get five or more Little Rock (or vicinity) Bogleheads who are interested in forming a Local Chapter and one of you is willing to volunteer to be the Local Chapter Coordinator, let me know via PM and I'll get your group set up and listed on the Local Chapters Map so others can find and contact you.

And, of course, socializing with like-minded Boglehead investors.

I live in West Little Rock, and work in North Little Rock.
Re: Any Bogleheads in Little Rock, AR?
I live in West Little Rock, and work in downtown Little Rock.
Re: Any Bogleheads in Little Rock, AR?
I am an early morning person, maybe schedule a Starbucks coffee in February? 6am?
Re: Any Bogleheads in Little Rock, AR?
I live in (almost) West Little Rock as well. I sleep during the day, so mornings (6am starbucks would be fine) or evenings is best for me -- prefer no lunch or afternoons.
Re: Any Bogleheads in Little Rock, AR?
My hometown is Little Rock, AR, but I currently live in Brooklyn, NY. I'm there at least 1-2 every month or so. I would love to meet up if the times work.

That’s quite a commute. I imagine you put on more than 100k miles per year on your car or truck.

Re: Any Bogleheads in Little Rock, AR?
I have a second child coming in May, so I am unable to sign on as the Local Chapter Coordinator at this time. We could all coordinate a time/date and bring one posting of interest from the site for discussions. We then could each decide if we liked the meeting ( and each other) and move forward from there.

Re: New Bogleheads Local Chapter in Little Rock, AR
Little Rock Bogleheads,
Our first meeting is scheduled for 0700 on Saturday, 10 March at Guillermo’s Coffeehouse which is located at 10700 N Rodney Parham Rd (next door to Chili's at Rodney Parham & I-430).
The store opens at 0700, so I anticipate a 15 minute lull while we purchase drinks and gather in their meeting room. If you have any investing ideas or questions to discuss, you can email them to me (which I can forward to other group members beforehand) or just bring them with you.
Will send out a reminder a couple days before.
Take care and see you soon.

Re: New Bogleheads Local Chapter in Little Rock, AR
Just wanted to say that I, for one, enjoyed the first meeting. The turnout was small, but everyone that showed up was clearly very knowledgeable. Hopefully, more will be able to show up at the next event.

I enjoyed it as well, and look forward to participating regularly.
Re: New Bogleheads Local Chapter in Little Rock, AR
Little Rock Bogleheads,
As our first meeting went well, we desired to have a meeting once a month. Let's set the date for our second meeting as Saturday April 7, 2018 at 7:15am at the same location -- Guillermo's Coffeehouse, next to Chilis at I430 and Rodney Parham.
On the agenda will be setting a good monthly meeting time for all involved, and I would like to learn from the other members what funds are in the stock allocation of their portfolio. In particular the purpose/rational for each stock fund versus having the broad market, and any strategy for rebalancing or altering the allocation of each in relation to each other stock fund. Lets not talk about bonds or alternatives until future meetings, and instead focus on just stock funds.
If any other topics are of interest to you please email them to littlerockbogleheads@gmail.com.
Hope to see you there on April 7th.

Re: New Bogleheads Local Chapter in Little Rock, AR
The next meeting is cancelled due to coronavirus. As I will be moving to Texarkana in a few months, and our group has remained small, we will be dissolving the Little Rock chapter. If you would like to meet up or chat, send a me a PM.
