Carol Flake Chapman is the creator of Woman with Portfolio: The Smart Woman's Online Guide to Investing, http://www.womanwithportfolio.com. A well known journalist and book author who was one of the founding editors of Vanity Fair magazine, she has turned her investigative and trend-spotting skills to investing.
Her moment of truth came as she was on her way to sign away her life's savings to an unscrupulous broker and got a traffic ticket for speeding. She realized she needed to slow down and and learn about investing with the same tenacity she has used to earn a Ph.D, to write groundbreaking books, to win medals for road racing, and to work her way to the top of the journalism world.
As she not only survived but thrived in the stock market, she soon realized that she could share what she had learned with other women.
Woman with Portfolio is the result of her dream to build an online community of women investors and to create a place where women can learn about investing without all the usual hype and jargon that turns us off.
The educational part of Woman with Portfolio is free and open to all, and those who join for a minimal annual fee also participate in a forum, sharing questions and ideas, and receive regular updates and specific information about trends, market conditions and promising stocks.
Woman with Portfolio is offering a special subscription rate to members of the Alpha Women community to help them get fiscally fit. The regular rate is $100 for a year. Alpha Women will receive an extra three months for free. Simply click on the button on the home page that says "Learn More about Membership" and follow the regular procedure for joining the Web site, which includes registering and choosing a screen name. Include the word alpha in your screen name (for example MaryAlpha), and when you make a payment, using Paypal or credit card, your membership will be for 15 months rather than a year. You will receive an email confirming your bonus.
