Pitt stock club welcomes new members, opens portfolio

To the editor:

The Pitt Stock of the Month Club decided at its January meeting to open a new stock portfolio. All members of the Pitt faculty and staff are invited to join. For a limited time, anyone who joins will become a charter member and will not be charged a handl ing fee. Members pay $10 per month.

Members meet monthly to vote on which stocks to buy and sell. On occasion, outside speakers address the group. This is a good chance to learn more about investing in the stock market and to make a financial profit as well.

This will be the 10th portfolio in the Pitt Stock of the Month Club. The first was started in 1960. It currently has a redemption value of over $39,000 for each member who has invested a total amount of $750 each. The previous portfolio was opened four y ears ago.

New members may join at the next meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 10, at 12:30 p.m. in 527/529 William Pitt Union. Inquiries may be sent to me at 546 Salk Hall or by e-mail at ejd1@vms.cis.pitt.edu or by telephone at 648-8481.
