May 29--COLORADO SPRINGS -- They call themselves The Bullish Babes -- an investment club of nearly a dozen Colorado Springs women who, dare I say, are slouching toward their golden years.
Their monthly meeting is usually at a Sunrise Assisted Living center.
"They treat us like royalty there," said Bullish Babe Carol Mark, 54, a police dispatcher. "We own their stock." Investment clubs have been disappearing since the bust of the bull market. In 1998, more than 37,000 clubs were registered with Better Investing, formerly called the National Association of Investors Corp. Today, there are about 19,600.
