About Our Web Site

At chickslayingnesteggs.com we are offering women a place to come, bring their girlfriends, hang out, and begin to learn about investing. The ten of us Chicks searched high and low for a site that was only for women, only about investing, and easy to understand. Oh yeah, and it had to be fun. We wanted to learn how to invest in the stock market without it involving a lot of risk, or taking up too much of our time. We've figured out how that the best way to do all of this was through an online investment club. Just one small hurdle, we had to create the web site!

At chickslayingnesteggs.com, we are encouraging you to get some friends, and start your own online investment club. We’ll help ya! The ol' "Been-there-done-that" routine. We’ve learned a few things along the way and are dying to share.

At this site you are able to get step-by-step instructions on How To Start Your Own Investment Club, How To Keep One Running Smoothly, and formulate your own investment approach by using the Chicks Dozen. All this available at your fingertips any time of the day!

We promise you our site is going to stay very simple, with most of the emphasis on beginners wanting to learn how to invest in the stock market. No parenting tips, no recipes and not an overwhelming amount of new content each day. Just one or two new articles a day, in plain English, with some fun stuff going on.

Through our Chicks Dozen Investment Approach, our investment club, (the Chicks Laying Nest Eggs) has managed to more than double the market during the same time period. This without one "hot tip" from a broker. (BTW, "hot tips" usually turn out to be "hot stocks" for about three minutes and then they die.) So, while having fun and learning to invest, we have actually beaten 85% of the mutual fund investors. We're still learning, and always will be learning, but now, through chickslayingnesteggs.com, other women can learn along with us, and start creating their own nest egg.

Here is a brief rundown of what the site is all about, and what each area contains.

Message Boards

Go There »

This is the place where you can start a message board for your girlfriends/club members to communicate through. You can check in on our message board to get the hang of how it works, then you can go and practice over at our Practice Message Board. No one will bother you at the practice board. Click here for Instructions on how to use the message board. Be careful, message boards can get addicting, and aren’t always investment related. (We’re women, we don’t want to be ALL about investing. That’d get boring.). Looking for an investment club in your area? Visit the New Clubs Message Board.

The Chicks

Go There »

That’d be us… the original Chicks Laying Nest Eggs Investment Club. We live all over the country (and sometimes Canada) and knew absolutely NOTHING about investing before we started in the club. True Story. We still aren’t experts (and don’t want to be) but we know exactly which stock is our favorite and why, if you asked.

Also in the Meet the Chicks area: Chick Karin gives you more info on the Chicks when she answers the Most Frequently Asked questions. See more of the Chicks in their Chick Photos. You'll usually get a laugh of two when you read their answers to past Questions of the Week.

Club Central

Go There »

We provide CLUB TOOLS for investment clubs: Steps to Starting an Investment Club, The Chicks Dozen Philosophy, The Dozen Worksheet, Steps to Keeping your Club Running Smoothly, Examining the Financial Statement, and a Glossary. This is the egg and shell of the site, and the simplest method out there to starting a club. (I can’t believe we are making that claim, but honestly, it is really simple.)

Investment clubs can register and use our online MY CLUB resources to post: Club Information, Operating Procedures, Club Minutes, Investment Philosophy, Portfolios, My Club's Dozen Worksheet. Or take a look at what other clubs are doing.

The General Store

Go There »

We still chuckle that we have a General Store. But, we had something to sell, so we needed a store. Nick and Nora, Inc. (pajama maker to the Stars) designed some Chicks Laying Nest Eggs pajamas especially for us. Nothing like sitting in your jammies investing on your computer!

Research a Company

Go There »

We'll provide you with help and links to help with your company research. You can check out who owns the company, what its financial statements look like and what its stock is going for. And if you need some help knowing where to find online brokers, our list will get you started.

That’s it... and, if anything you’ve just read here is confusing, let us know by posting a question in our Meeting Place. Still have questions? Look at the information on our Help Page (also linked from the bottom of each page). Now go get your girlfriends and get Chicky with it!
