"Life in a Bear Market"

An Industry Leadership Series Event
on
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008

"Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism, and die on euphoria." - Sir John Templeton.

But the question today is: "How do we handle Life in a bear market?" These are turbulent times, and financial disaster seems to lurk at every turn. Join us to hear Frank J. Jones, Ph.D. address some of the concerns we all have about how we should view the world of investing. Dr. Jones is Chairman of the Investment Committee for Salient Wealth Management, LLC, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of the International Securities Exchange, and a professor of Finance at San Jose State University.

For many, emotions are at an all-time high, but does it have to be that way? Dr. Jones will discuss portfolio risk and five rules to follow to help investors sleep better at night. An expert in the field, Dr. Jones has years of industry experience - including 13 years managing a $29 billion portfolio as Executive Vice President and Chief Investment Officer for The Guardian Insurance Company.
