     The group needs more focused people. Many are just trolling for a hot stock tip.

     You can learn a lot and it's a good forum to ask questions. As a beginner, I didn't feel intimidated at all and had taken a lot of notes to guide my future searches.

     It's a good way to learn how to trade stocks. It also helps to have people with knowledge teaching the system to others.

     Ilona is one of the top organizers in Meetup. And this is the REAL New York IBD group, not one of the phony imitations that has recently started.

  • The New York City Investor's Business Daily Meetup Group

     It was stunning to see individuals of all ages come together, listening and engaging in a light speech on charts and trends.

  • The New York City Investor's Business Daily Meetup Group

     Excellent forum for persons using CAN SLIM as their investment strategy 

    Lois Burkett on May 29, 2008.

  • The New York City Investor's Business Daily Meetup Group

     Neither I have time nor resources or inclination for that matter, to try out Telechart or anyother product out there. You can imagine how serious I take IBD. That's not only a huge complement to IBD and Mr. O'Neil, its sheer utter respect, as well. During break time I spoke with a few other members and they expressed similar feelings. Please let's just stick to IBD, its a vast area where there could be a number of issues to be discussed from Market Direction, to watchlist, etc. I'm till this day struggling to keep updating watchlist on a daily basis. There's no end to learning IBD. Thanks and I apologize if I'm out of line here. Regards

     This is an amazing group, people are very helpful; if you really want to start learning investments, this is a very casual and low key environment. 

    NELLY on Apr 7, 2008.

  • The New York City Investor's Business Daily Meetup Group

     Good group. I came with two friends so I did not stay around to talk to new people. I wanted to sign up for the small groups that might be forming, re sectors, etc. but did not have time. I was hoping I would get an e-mail regarding it. 

    Rachel on Aug 24, 2007.

  • The New York City Investor's Business Daily Meetup Group

     It seems to be what I expected, and I shall attend again. 

    William Chace on Aug 23, 2007.

  • The New York City Investor's Business Daily Meetup Group

     Very good group. If you are going to have members make a list of good stocks I would recommend that you start by making a screen wizzard set of sorts. Let the computer do the work ! Just keep in mind that the stocks from a tight sort fail in 3 months often. JOHN

     Great Group... 

    Art Trupp on Jun 28, 2007.

  • The New York City Investor's Business Daily Meetup Group

     people seemed involved; some quite knowledgeable. I suspect there is a difference in familiarity with CANSLIM, etc. Perhaps, the group should be split into learners and veterans for different focus 

    zoch, elizabeth on Jun 27, 2007.

     I liked it. I met a few interesting people. Let's see how thing turn out next month.

  • The New York City Investor's Business Daily Meetup Group

     This was my third meetup. After the last two, I was debating whether to attend last night as the previous ones were not very informative. It has given me hope that future meetups could have much to offer as long as the guests have valuable investing experience to impart. The attendees seem like a fairly well informed group which is definitely a plus. Thanks for your hard work.

  • The New York City Investor's Business Daily Meetup Group

     nice people i guess the people there were sort of experienced.......... i sort of like people that seek information and seek it to expand there knowledge,,,,,, contrast some people in the group seemed like they wanted to just show off their knowledge.... but again im not complaining!!!!!!! 

    — A former member on Aug 23, 2006.

  •  I've attended two meetings. First one was excellent. The second one was a waste of time. 

    Matthew on Aug 27, 2008.

  •  The group is great but has lost focus. Instead of letting members speak which is really what this group is suppose to be about, it's turned into a marketing campaign for Joe Burns and Co. Let's get back to the basics what made this group so good. I think by this point, we all know who Joe Burns is. If he wants to have a seminar, that's fine. Let's just see and audited track record. 

    Jake on Sep 11, 2008.

  •  nice group. too bad there are not more presenters. seems the same people are always presenting. last night the former boxer got on my nerves again with his dramatics. I am only interested in learning how to navigate the stock market more effectively, not be entertained by someone who wants to be onstage! 

    Lawrence Grosssberg on Apr 23, 2009.

  •  i'm wondering if there are investment groups/clubs that are subsets of the meet-up group. is anyone aware of any? 

    philip weissman on May 25, 2005.

  •  Group all tried to help the last speaker. 

    don on Jan 24, 2008.

  •  Need a format where attendees can sign up to express their special interest.....investing in small caps, options, income only, etc. Hopefully this will create more interaction amongst attendees. 

    Al Hoodbhoy on Jul 25, 2008.

  •  needs better preparation 

    jim n on Mar 22, 2006.

  •  Past meetings have been too loose and not enough core and advanced IBD. 

    Sebastian LiVolsi on Jun 28, 2007.

  •  nothing to add 

    Frank Keane on Jul 24, 2008.

  •  still deciding for myself. 

    Robin Sole on Jul 23, 2008.

  •  It was excellent. I would like to see more technical analysis presentation from Reza. 

    Grace Marie Stout on Dec 27, 2006.

  •  I am undecided if I find it helpful. people did not communicate with each other at all. It was like attending a lecture. 

    Sarina on Dec 27, 2006.

  •  I know we all volunteer and have to contribute to make it successful, and I have benefitted from those that do. As someone who has never offered to present to this group, I don't feel it's fair of me to criticize those who have. But in the end, as an attendee, you judge whether it's worthwhile or not, and this meeting, especially the second half, clearly was not. The woman host (forgot her name) did a nice job of filling in, and trying to offer pertinent information, especially in light of the recent downturn of the market. 

    Adam on Jan 25, 2008.

  •  I haven't had time to attend except a couple of meetups 

    A.Bongioanni on Sep 30, 2005.

  •  Only my second attendance in a long time so my rating is based on little. I hope to attend more and then will have a better base for rating.

    Felica Narvaez on May 26, 2005.

    TASRHEAD on Jan 25, 2007.

  •  I think Sheila's group has been exceptional in terms of attracting exciting and top-quality presenters. I look forward to attending future meetings. This was about my 5th or 6th time attending. 

    Conrad on Jul 27, 2006.

  •  The group was very friendly, positive and helpful. 

    Patrick Mullan on Jan 26, 2006.

  •  The group is obviously growing , in my opinion,because of its informative nature....It has become a highlight in my month.... 

    Mike on Sep 29, 2005.

  •  was my first meeting. long time trader by career but new to IBD. the moderator of the event had a tough job - there were too many times when people were yelling out from the seats with random ideas and questions. but overall, i thought the knowledge and honesty of the group was way above average. props to Andrea (spelling?) for putting it on the line and recommending stocks. not easy to do in front of a group of critics. thanks! 

    —A former member on Mar 24, 2005.

  •  Meeting becomes off topic quickly, because of questions, although I think moderator did his best to keep things moving. As an experienced large meeting attender, the best way to do these things is to keep to schedule with no questions during presentation, then when speaker is done allow time for questions i.e. 10min, then move on. In other words, you schedule the questions into agenda so you know exactly how much time is taken up by questions. 

    Glenn Patti on Jan 27, 2005.

  •  On balance the group was good with Jac the most thorough. One or two others seemed to be touting a stock based on factors not related to anything espoused within IBD 

    Al Franco on Dec 16, 2004.

  •  It was a great meeting, thanks for the organizers, George and others! I hope the meeting to discuss more on specific stocks and general market direction. No one would blame the wrong picks, but if you get the right picks, you are the hero! 

    Lu on Nov 20, 2004.

  •  We're headed in the right direction. Tighening up the agenda and fixing the video problem would improve the value of the events considerably.
