Their philosophy: Girls just wanna have fun, but Chicks want to learn something — and make a few bucks — along the way. Like that can happen." Never fear! The Chicks didn't know a stock from a stocking when they started their club, but that didn't stop them from learning (fast) or beating the market (big!) right out of the coop. Here in Chicks Laying Nest Eggs, founding Chick Karin Housley starts right at the beginning and recaps everything the Chicks learned on the way to becoming Dow Jones divas. It is for every woman, because the time has passed (if it ever really existed) when any woman could afford to be ignorant about her finances.. Chicks Laying Nest Eggs is all about doing it all! And they've been spreading the gospel on their investment club website — chickslayingnesteggs — showing Chicks everywhere how and why to invest.Okay, okay.

"Chicks laying groundwork" according to Danika Sanchez. It sounds to me like people either loved or hated this book. I'm in the middle. The content was excellent for beginning investors. Even though the math may have been a bit elementary, sometimes a refresher is needed! Skip over the examples if you have just graduated from Harvard. I am going to be starting an investment club and have read a few books on it now. This one is very light-hearted, even if you don't think her humor is. It does, however, allow one to read more than one chapter without falling asleep, a problem I did have with another book. What is comes down to is this -- this book is full of IDEAS, a place to start. Some of us ARE . Chicks Laying Nest Eggs Nancy I just finished reading Karin Housley's "Chicks Laying Nest Eggs" and absolutely loved it! She's witty and bright--and has taken a unique approach to educating women (and men) on investing (and starting an Investment Club). I have read many, many guides to investingspent plenty of time on websites like E-trade, and the truth is, they never keep my attention and the advice is consistently contradictory. Karin has designed twelve, easy to understand guidelines for investing in stocks. It's a no-nonsense approach that helps new investors build confidence, while trying to navigate the market.For the critics that criticize the "Chicks" performanc. Donald Mitchell said Inexpensive, Fun Ways to Experience Stock Investing. Millions of investing books are bought or read by people who never get around to buying any stocks. Karin Housley, busy mother of four and wife of professional hockey player Phil Housley, found that the solution for her was to form an investment club with her friends across the country. Occasional face-to-face meetings would be supplemented by having a bulletin board on-line, regular e-mail, and now they have a web site where you can visit to keep up-to-date with them and share their results.The book is the first simple explanation I have seen for how to take all of the little steps needed to start an investment club. By working together, in
And it's that blend of sisters-doin'-it-for-themselves practicality and pop-level empowerment that makes Chicks the kind of smart, fun group-investment guide that even some of us NYSE-illiterate roosters out there would do well to read. From the sassy, wisecracking wife of pro hockey player Phil Housley (and mother of four) comes an investment-club how-to for all those postboomer, pre-X women who not only bring home the bacon (in an SUV, most likely) and fry it up in a pan, but who want to find greater financial autonomy and profits than mutual funds can provide--and in the process do some "You go, girl!"
