For my two penny worth; its worth remembering the whole idea of an investment club is to pool funds and invest in a more financially beneficial way in a wider spread of shares (and therefore reduce risk) than you would invest in as an individual.

...and investing is a long term strategy... :ugeek:

Couldn't agree more
Vote closes tomorrow with 1/3 in favour, 1/3 against and the rest having no idea :(
Has not been helped by the Chairman's wholehearted negativity about the plan but he hasn't come up with a way forward and I don't think he's going to anytime soon.
He is obsessed with having some long term shares with dividends. Yeah well we tried that and look what happen. Not a single long term share is in profit
With the loss of the vote I think Richard position as Treasurer is untenable and it wouldn't surprise me if he resigns
I pushed the club into a vote on selling the dreaded C shares and lost
And I've been quite vocal in my support of this proposal and i am going to lose that
Clearly the club has little interest in my views and I expect I will resign from the club and sell back my considerable portfolio
With the loss of the Treasurer and 1 of the biggest contributors I wonder if the Chairman can carry on?
I would not be surprised to see the club fold before too long
I suspect this will be last post as a CIC member
All V sad

I chose to leave at the right time I think. In the time I was part of the club I made a £5 profit which was more (probably)than I would have got in interest elsewhere.

Even the discussion about changes seems to have stalled and no one seems inclined to get it moving again.

As it is currently constituted the club is two slow in its reactions. Richards suggestions go a small way to addressing that but not far enough. In my opinion it would help if there were a key few (sub committee perhaps) who could be PM'd and make decisions. At the moment there are too many members who sit on the sidelines (for whatever reason) take no real part in the club and are slow to respond. In the world of the FTSE a week is far to long. I am not even now totally convinced that an online CIC even can work that well.

I do have some financial advice for you which will give you a better return that the CIC
Take a pound and change it into 4x20p, 1x 10p and 2 x5p
Take a 20p and a 5p and throw it away :shock:
Look at what you have and 'Congratulations!' you have made more money from your £1 that the CIC

Shares have generally out performed the house price index over time so what's your worry? There should be a queue of people wanting to buy as the shares are going cheap in general terms.... There must be some lack of understanding. Make hay while the sun shines and allow for the passing of time; an important factor.
You confusing 2 different things
The Unit Price is a reflection of how the club is doing.
It started at £1 and is now down to 73p
A loss of 27% in 3 years where as the Stock market has increased by 15%ish over the same period
But if you're confident that Now is the time to buy why not join us?

That may be true if was just an individual house being sold cheap for example at Auction.

"General Housing Market" falls in prices are usually caused by lack of buyer confidence/lack of buyers, recession/job losses/high Interest rates/fears of much higher Interest rates in these instances it is a lack of buyers which cause such general falls in house prices, the houses are actually hard to sell let alone queues of people wanting to buy as people who can buy would wait hoping for further house price falls.
Your facts may be true but I'm sure that you can still see it was an example: people still buy in a falling market - it's cheaper!
