Inspired by the popular Beardstown Ladies investment book, a group of 15 female lawyers from Akron’s Amer Cunningham Co. decided to sacrifice $25 apiece and one lunch hour each month to learn how the stock market works. Now, three years later, they own 16 stocks and boast a 25 percent return on their investment. Their most profitable stocks have been Harley-Davidson and Intel, which has split three times since their purchase.
The women named their group the Women’s Investment Network, and each of the 15 members shares responsibility by serving as senior partner, junior partner and financial partner.
