Topic: investment management or club (Read 878 times)
Intersting; I don't have much experience in this but I would definitely want to learn more if this ever gets set up.
Could you expand on your idea? Bitcoins only? I think that would be like putting all your eggs in one basket.
Well I assume everyone has numerous baskets. Bitcoin lends itself well to an internet community (as well as shady characters to be sure). I'm certainly open to discussing other holdings, though it could get complicated if we share a pool of assets. What kind of portfolio discussion/management are you interested in?
One way to think of the portfolio management is to lend your bitcoins at interest. Though that puts a lot of risk on the day trader. He may expect a fee and take a cut on profits. The lender should have some loss protection.
As for the club, I'm not worried about someone encouraging other's to sell so that he can buy, simply because I wouldn't join a large club in the first place. I've been a part of stock clubs in which we buy into the pool, discuss trades, and share all profit and loss weighted upon our buy in percentage. However, the bitcoin market is on accelerated time (or just high volatility). One week in bitcoin is like one year on NASDAQ. The club could also just be a way for people to record their performance, discuss their thinking (both before or after taking positions), perhaps also in real time (irc?). There are already a number of analysis threads in this forum, but we're not really sharing our own wins and losses and learning from each other.
On a similar note. I live far far away from what most of you would call civilization. It's a great place to stash pm but a terrible place to receive metal. I was thinking about a network of trusted holders the world over.

is anyone interested in starting, a bitcoin trading club?
I would be interested.
Though I could see plenty of room for abuse. "Everyone buy now!!!" As I sell all my BTC on the cheap...
Maybe prove it some how? Agreed though

I'm traveling tomorrow, with few internet access opportunities, and concerned about the bitcoin market at the moment. I wonder if anyone is offering investment management services. Are their published rates, performance records, satisfied customers, otc-ratings, etc? Similarly, is there already, or is anyone interested in starting, a bitcoin trading club?
