Free Industry Analysis Workshop
by Doug Gerlach, President, ICLUBcentral

At next week's Retail Investor Conference on Feb. 2, ICLUBcentral President Doug Gerlach will present a workshop on "Industry Analysis for the Bottom-Up Stock Investor."

During this session, Doug will discuss how savvy investors can dig deeper into industry analysis to find overlooked opportunities or peg a company to its peers, and thus increase their chances of beating the market by investing in high-quality, well-managed companies. You can find these solid stock investment candidates in any market without trying to unearth "hot" industries or buying into the hype about "sector rotation." But being aware of the issues faced by companies in particular industries can aid your understanding of the stocks contained therein.

Register today to reserve your place the Retail Investor Conference.


It's "Be Nice to Your Investment Club Treasurer" Month
by Russell Malley,
Investment Club Accounting Advisor, ICLUBcentral

This time of year usually sees a higher volume of support calls regarding club accounting issues. Calls from stressed treasurers on the brink of leaving their position or even the club also increase about now. Many times clubs disband when the treasurer leaves. So this article is dedicated to the care and feeding of the club treasurer and is directed more at the other members of investment clubs.

Have a little patience. Your club treasurer doesn't control when 1099 forms from your broker are available. The deadline for brokers to mail these forms has changed. The current date is Feb. 15, not Jan. 31. If your club holds real estate investment trusts or any type of partnership, later dates are possible for receipt of tax infor­mation. So don't expect your club's Schedule K-1 form before Feb. 15.

Don't put a treasurer in a sink-or- swim situation. The beginning of the year seems a good time to change officers. This can put new and possibly inexperienced treasurers in the situation of filing their first club tax return just as they start their new duties. Cut the stress and change treasurers after tax season. Or make sure the new treasurer has help for the first 1065 filing.

Give your treasurer some help. An assistant treasurer who learns the accounting software and can share some of the duties diminishes the stress on your treasurer. This policy also helps the club have a trained replacement when the position eventually changes hands. Also, let your treasurer know of the resources available for help such as BetterInvesting's Discussion List for Club Treasurers and the association's local volunteer chapters....

Resolving Issues Generating Tax Forms
by Sean Pulrang,
ICLUBcentral Customer Support Specialist

With folks getting started on their taxes, I think it's a good time to bring this note back around. It deals with some of the most common issues when trying to print your tax forms in the desktop Club Accounting 3 program.

This note will help with the following issues that primarily come up after you get to the end of the tax printer, and click Finish:

  • The tax forms that come up are for last year.
  • You see a 'file not found', or a 'Serious Error' message.
  • Something comes up on the screen that says it's your tax forms, but in the words of one member, "It's gibberish."

I've sorted these roughly in order of the most to least common issues/resolutions that we run into. ...
