One Question Grant

During the summer, the TJIC officers filled out the One Questions Grant. We focused on the club's new emphasis on Socially Responsible Investing (SRI). The officers have recently learned that TJIC has successfully received a grant worth $250 from the school. This will provide money for both club activities and investment. For more information, attend the Investment Club meeting during 8th Period B-Block on Friday, November 13, 2009. For more information on SRI, see our SRI tab. A copy of our grant application can be found at that location as well.

TradeKing: Refer a Friend

Our brokerage, TradeKing, is running a promotional "Refer A Friend" offer. If someone creates an account worth $1000 or more from our referral, an extra $50 will be added to TJIC's portfolio. We are offering an astounding 7 lettering points to any club member who sets up an account or gets someone to set up an account. The more friends we refer, the more we can earn. We may even be able to double our portfolio's funds if 10 or more new accounts are set up. If this happens we promise to schedule a trip to see the U.S. Mint and Federal Reserve in Washington D.C. So, take advantage of this great way to really help out the club and get some extra lettering points!

TradeKing is one of the most highly awarded online brokers in the industry, which is why TJIC has decided to use them for the club's trading. They have amazing trader analysis features and tools. Barron's says they are among the "Best for stock and options traders." SmartMoney ranked them #1 for customer service and Kiplinger's says "TradeKing reigns" in customer service, awarding them their highest rating of five stars.

Email us if you are interested in creating an account or have any questions regarding TradeKing. We will send you a referral link if you choose to sign up.

New Lettering System

This year, we will be experimenting with a new, competitive lettering system. For more information, see our Lettering tab.

SRI and the One Question Grant

Earlier this year the other officers and I turned in the One Question grant. The grant focuses mainly on the club's new initiative, Socially Responsible Investing (SRI). You can find more information on SRI at the official SRI site, socialinvest.org, or at our SRI tab, from which you can download a transcript of the grant proposal we submitted.

We will let you know whether TJIC recieved the grant as soon as we hear about it.
