Yes, I am a member. AAII is a superior chapter or club organization with an exceptionally strong and knowing epicenter replete with hard-copy and online newsletter with "an attitude". That attitude is thoroughly professional but not "Wall Street" in orientation. They believe that the best stocks for individual investors are not the familiar, large, news-driven stocks favored by institutions, but rather the "stealth" stocks that go largely unnoticed, selling at low book and price/sales values. AAII offers several model portfolios you can follow. Their stance is conservative in that they don't aim for the home runs and they recommend long term portfolios. It is not a trader's approach, at all. Their performance has been excellent. They also offer a premium membership and a "computerized" trading publication which is very informative. The subscription costs are reasonable. If that isn't enough, you can join a chapter and engage other members in constructing investment club portfolios. This can give you the benefit of other opinions. The members are serious and tend to be mature in age and attitude. In the long run, they run circles around the "hot shot" trading services.
The problem is that most of the current generation of investors are really swing traders without enough skill or discipline and are not attracted to the steady turtle pace of an approach like that of AAII. Most of us, including myself, would be better off following their model. If you like the idea of a "guru" model but with more action you might want to consider John Reese's Validea at validea.com. Unlike AAII, Validea rebalances all model portfolios every month.
