QUESTIONS FREQUENTLY ASKED
How can I see Cross Country's current holdings?
There is no public portfolio available. Those accepted into our internship program are given copies of the club's past Portfolio Evaluation Review Technique (PERT) worksheets, which lists the number of shares, percent yield, total return, percent of portfolio and other key metrics for each of our holdings.
This information can be found on our discussion site, filed under Files / Pert Worksheets.

PERSONAL OUTLOOK
At a recent on line meeting, one of our members described Cross Country Investment Club and his own personal investment outlook:
We're a very informal group... We generally hold an on-line chat once a month and the remainder of the time most communication is done via e-mail. You'll learn that my typing leaves a lot to be desired. Look for transposed letters and for misspellings usually caused by hitting an adjacent key to the one intended.
Most of us are very conservative investors. In particular, I like to see steady growth, doesn't need to be spectacular, steady suits me more. I like undervalued stocks. I avoid paying more than an average PE and abhor paying more than a PE of 25-30 for a stock. Needless to say, I don't buy IPOs. Favorites are stocks like JNJ and banking stocks (which usually pay a dividend, are often steady performers, and are often very sound investments due to the ever-present arms of state and federal regulators who oversee the safety of the depositor's assets).
