What We Offer
How am I doing?
Friends
Investment Clubs:
Similar to investment clubs, OpeningBell allows you to create your own Team of Friends (Members) who use their existing brokerage acct or setup a new one to invest & track their performance.
Dashboards:
OpeningBell's Platform provides dashboards to track daily how you compare, plus it creates an end-of-month recon process to verify closing balance and announce the "Top Performer!"
Education Links
Investing Education: OpeningBell provides education links around investing strategies and introduces you to several investment news periodicals. BTW, OpeningBell does not provide investment advice.
Keeping it all fair!
Fair:
The OpeningBell platform tracks activities in a Member's designated brokerage account to ensure they don't deposit additional funds or transfer assets to unfairly boost their performance.
Created for those who want to learn with "skin in the game"
Research shows that most adults would be interested in learning about investing or something new if they have "skin the game". OpeningBell's reconciliation platform was created to provide examples of different investing strategies and track results from your chosen brokerage account. Otherwise, you could just use a "paper trading" solution where nothing is lost if you choose a particular stock that doesn't have solid fundamentals.
Setup a New Brokerage Account or Use Existing*
Compare Results and Chat up Your Performance
Recognize Team's Top Performer
*Brokerage Account - Fidelity, RobinHood, etc
What Our Members Are Saying
In the world of investing, there are so many terms that I didn't understand; dollar cost averaging, doubling down, buy & hold, bid, being a speculator, etc. GMAB! OpeningBell provided links to help me better understand.
I didn't realize there were so many different ways to invest in the stock market. I've learned that dividends helps me during down-markets. duh
The banter on our group chat is hilarious! I'm not only learning more about investing, but certainly have a great time with my buds!
