For many years I have dabbled in the stock market.  I had set aside a bit of play money for me to use to invest in the market so if I lost any money, it would really not affect our finances.

So far, the stock picks that I have made have been good.  Though I am not up as much as I would like, the fact that I have gained ground makes me happy.  But I know that I could do better if I had some professional advice.

Looking online, I found an investment club that offered stock research as part of the membership.  According to the testimonials on their site, the investors that used their advice had portfolios that performed better than the market.

So I have joined the club and I think I will take their advice into consideration for the next three months.  If my returns have been better after following their advice, I will stay in the club, if not, I will have to find another club to join.
