Fortunately, Doug has some ideas for individuals and investment clubs taken from the two market-beating newsletters that he edits. First is the Investor Advisory Service which was named for 16 consecutive years to the "Hulbert Investment Newsletter Honor Roll" and which celebrated its 50th year in 2023. Second is the SmallCap Informer celebrating its 14th year in 2026 with a long-term track record outperforming the small-cap stock indexes. ๐Ÿ•‘: 10:00 AM - 10:50 AMMake Better "Sell" Decisions in Your PortfolioHost: Doug GerlachInfo: Using the SSG (Stock Selection Guide) and other BI tools, it is possible to determine optimal buy and sell prices. Unfortunately, those prices often don't provide enough justification by themselves to make confident decisions. Stocks can languish in the "maybe" zone. Weak company fundamentals make a stock appear to be too cheap to pass up. Stocks that have seen huge price run-ups may be approaching their sell prices on the SSG but still can be prudently held in a portfolio. With a better understanding of the five different levels of valuation, investors can make better decisions about handling the under-, over-, or hyper-valued stocks in their portfolios.๐Ÿ•‘: 11:00 AM - 11:50 AMStock Selection Guide (SSG) Blunders, Bungles and BloopersHost: Doug GerlachInfo: This will be a survey of startlingly common mistakes made by both experienced and beginner investors when analyzing stocks. See examples of what NOT to do when using the SSG to examine companies for your portfolio.๐Ÿ•‘: 12:00 PM - 01:00 PMBetterInvesting Resources, Model Club Portfolio & DiscussionHost: Craig BraemerInfo: Get a quick overview of the many resources BetterInvesting offers to its individual and investment club members. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/pleasant-hill/investment-education-workshop/100001987154865696 - **Event Categories**: Workshops, Art, Business, Sports, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 25, max: 35, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Pleasant Hill - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Diablo Valley College - **lat**: 37.9686774 - **long**: -122.0711537 - **full address**: Diablo Valley College, 321 Golf Club Road, Pleasant Hill, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Investment Education Workshop - **Image URL**: https://dyn-image.allevents.in/generate-image?v=4&title=Investment+Education+Workshop&date=Sat%2C+27+Jun%2C+2026+at+08%3A30+am&bg=2 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Investment Education Workshop being held? - **A:** Investment Education Workshop takes place on Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 08:30 am to Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 01:00 pm at Diablo Valley College, 321 Golf Club Road, Pleasant Hill, United States. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Investment Education Workshop? - **A:** Ticket prices for Investment Education Workshop range from USD 25 to USD 35 depending on the ticket type.
