• The Basics of Investing for a Long, Happy Retirement. The first panel presentation of the day will look at the process of investing, and which strategies may work best for people at all stages and in all walks of life.
• Managing the Risks that Can Come with Investing. While all investments offer some element of risk, some behaviors are blatantly harmful. This presentation can help investors recognize warning signs for potentially risky or fraudulent behavior.
• Getting Help– Checking Out Investments and Financial Professionals. Part of smart investing is choosing the right advisor or brokerage for your needs. Panel speakers will offer strategies and tips for choosing the right firm for you.
