MADISON TECH INVESTORS

 

The Madison Tech Investors is an offshoot of the Madison PC Users Group Investing SIG. We will be taking the education we get from the Investing SIG one step further by actually purchasing stocks that we analyze.

 

If you're thinking that you want to make money fast on all of the Internet IPOs, you can still join our group for the education, and take what you learn from us and invest your own money in those types of things.

 

Check our Web Page for Bylaws and things.
