Everybody is Getting Rich on the Market Except ME!
The Ladies of the Wednesday Investment Club is a hilarious look at the trials and tribulations of a group of throughly inexperienced women investors trying desperately to make a buck on the stock market. This book is a wonderful read as it is not only a contemporary topic, but also because one can identify with the women's strong desire to strike it rich on the market, not realizing the pitfalls along the way. The novel is a parody of the wildly successful Beardsly Women's Investment Group, of course the women in this book are rank amatures. It has a marvelously uplifting message about how we are never too old to try something new, and is a nice commentary on the resilience of the human spirit to perservere through all types of adversity. Although the women in the book are portrayed as ditsy, it was easy to root for these underdogs. The book also contains some excellent factual information on stock market investing!

The Ladies of the Wednesday Investment Club
The book is a comedy about a fictional investment club located in the suburbs of the nation's capital. Although fictional, the book covers many of the factual problems, pitfalls and opportunities encountered in forming and operating a stock investment club. At the outset, a zany but lovable group of women form a women's-only investment club. The women, who are considered to be little more than financial nincompoops, are nevertheless determined to make their fortunes. After a roller coaster of high financial gains followed by near financial disasters, they overcome the odds and parlay their invidual investment of $100 a month into fame and fortune.
