"Do you want to team up with some of your co-workers or buddies, and become a partner in a company that makes investments? Hi this is Roger Groh, at Groh Asset Management. If you do, then you are creating a partnership trading account. Today we're here to talk about how to set it up, how to use it, and in the end some of the things that you can do or avoid in order to keep that partnership healthy. First of all, you have to create a document, and on the document you list the partners, and the percentage that the partnership that each person owns. It might be different. For instance, if somebody else, person A puts in more money than person B, person A may want to own more as a percentage of it than person B. Also in the document you would designate individuals who can trade stock, who can put money in and take money out, and who can be the face of the, the legal face of the organization. That's called the partnership agreement. With that agreement in place, you then take it to your local stock brokerage firm or bank, and they will open an account for you. With the person that you've designated on the partnership agreement as being the point of contact. Things that you can do to keep the peace among the partners, well communication is everything. And not forgetting what the needs are of each person in that partnership really will help. Next, you are going to have to deal with the tax side of it. Meaning everybody is going to want to know how are we doing. So having an accountant designated to provide the regular financial data and tax data, is going to be critical. It will help a lot if you do that frequently. Maybe even do those evaluations daily, and let everybody know really where they stand instead of wondering. Because once they start to wonder problems usually come up. So you need a partnership document, you need to open up an account at a bank or brokerage firm, and then you are good to go. I'm Roger Groh, of Groh Asset Management, thank you very much for spending time with me."
