Karin Housley Books

When Karin Housley asked the financial expert managing her family's investments to explain his strategy, he dismissed her with, "You just wouldn't understand." Frustrated, she decided to become an investor. Not wanting to navigate the stock market alone, she invited ten friends—women aged twenty-nine to sixty across the U.S.—to form an investment club. They named themselves the Chicks Laying Nest Eggs Investment Club, meeting in an online chat room and using the Internet for research and trading. After two years, they outperformed Wall Street's experts, proving that while they just wanted to have fun, they also aimed to learn and earn. The Chicks share their journey on their investment club website, helping women everywhere understand and engage in investing. Initially, they had no knowledge of stocks or computers, but they quickly learned and succeeded. This guide covers everything from the basics of the market to starting your own investment club, buying stock, and achieving solid returns. It demystifies terms like S&P, NASDAQ, and mutual funds, while providing tips on managing an online club that fits busy schedules. Most importantly, it emphasizes having fun while making money work harder. This is a straightforward, step-by-step investment guide for every woman, highlighting the importance of financial literacy in today's world.
