Along with the relaxed atmosphere, you’ll be in close company with the financial industry’s most renowned money experts and learn timely and practical investment strategies from them. Right at the crucial start of 2019, we’ll explore the ramifications of the mid-term elections for our nation’s policies and how they’ll affect your portfolio. With the US stock market notching record highs, day after day, we’ll also explore ways you can continue to reap the benefits, while simultaneously preserving your hard-earned gains as volatility returns.
