The Student Investment Club is where any UWM student may help to decide where to invest real money in stocks. Our fund is at $182,677 in November 2024 and varies every day. Our top 6 stocks now are Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, JP Morgan Chase, Blackstone, and Berkshire Hathaway. But our portfolio includes about 30 stocks and ETFs.
The weekly club meetings expand the knowledge and understanding of its members in the areas of investing, finance, and the economy. Students “pitch” reasons to buy a new stock or to sell a stock in our current holding sometimes in groups of a few students. Students then vote to buy and sell stocks that were pitched.

We meet in N120 in Lubar Hall on Monday nights at 8:15pm in the Fall of 2024. I spoke on Monday, November 18, 2024 on Emotional Triggers in Investing.
