  8. You and some friends create an investment club. You’ll pool money every month, members will make recommendations on buying and selling stocks, you’ll vote, and hopefully some day you’ll reap a fortune. At the first meeting there is dissension in the ranks. How would you react to these statements from other members, assuming you want to keep the club together? 1. “Since we’ve agreed (which you have) that this is not ‘serious’ money, but ‘fun’ money, we should go for the long shots, the crap shoots, the next dot-com revolution.” 2. “I joined so I could learn something about the stock market. We should give serious thought to each stock we pick, analyze it, and vote accordingly. Sounds boring perhaps, but we’re not here for laughs.” 3. “I’ve had a spectacular record in the market. If you just take my advice, you’ll make a bundle.” 4. “Frankly, I’m a stock market dummy. I don’t know a dividend from a duck. I’ll vote for whatever sounds most interesting at the time.” TALKING POINTS…Chapter Fifteen, Number One Slide 8 of 9

How would you react to these responses from each? A. Broker A, who is your 1st choice based on the interview and recommendations says, “To be honest with you, I can’t afford to open up and manage an acct. as small as yours. Feel free to call me if you ever need a second opinion, and maybe some day, when your account is bigger, we can do business.” B. Broker B is aggressive but eager and sincere. “I’ll work my butt off for you, day and night. I’m going to make your account grow so fast it’ll make your head spin. You’ll get all my firms best tips first.” C. Broker C is very stand-offish, but has a phenomenal success record in picking winners. “I’ll handle your account only if you give me complete authorization to make all the decisions.” D. Broker D is a dear old friend who you see socially quite often. “Come on, Pat. It’s me. Fran. Your buddy. Surely you wouldn’t give your account to anyone else. That would break my heart.” TALKING POINTS…Chapter Fifteen, Number Two Slide 9 of 9
