Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE FOREST Investments Club was set up about six months ago in Nottingham. It has six members who all work together and meet regularly in the ancient local pub, the Trip to Jerusalem Inn, where the club was formed.
It has a portfolio of about pounds 6,000 and plans to invest a further pounds 30 to pounds 60 per month per member.
Bruno Rost, who works in investor relations for a privatised utility and helped set up the club, said: 'Our club is at an embryonic stage. We want to build up membership.'
He adds that the club aims to have the full quota of 20 members with a total of pounds 60,000 invested. Each member puts in different amounts according to what they can afford. Investment decisions are made collectively. At the moment, the club is looking at investing in new issues such as Roxborough and Virtuality.
'We talk out ideas,' Mr Rost said. 'Different people have very different ideas and it is useful for us to put our heads together.'
