...meets at 7 PM on the Fourth Tuesday of each month, January through November [NO meeting in December!], at the Northbrook Chamber of Commerce Building, 2002 Walters Avenue, Northbrook, Illinois (Click Here for Directions).

 NEXT MEETING DATE:     TUESDAY,  JUNE 23  --  7 PM

SUBJECT:  The Legacy of Peter L. Bernstein

Peter Bernstein had a privileged birth to accomplished New York parents. His upbringing and education gave him entrée to Harvard and the Federal Reserve. 

He used these gifts wisely and became a noted economics professor, the author of classic books in finance and investing [e.g., "Capital Ideas", "Against the Gods"], and the founder of an eponymous New York investment advisory firm.

When Bernstein died at age 90 earlier this month, he was lauded for his clear-headed view of investing, his understanding of risk, and his insights into human nature. At the June meeting, we'll examine some of Bernstein's key ideas, find out what he had to say about the 2008 market meltdown, and take away his predictions on what the future holds. 

YOUR assignment for JUNE... 

Come to this meeting to read, listen and learn from one of the notable investment gurus of our age. For extra credit and your own advantage, do a web search on "Peter L. Bernstein" and discover the man in advance of our meeting. 

In recent months North Shore meeting attendance has been rising...

...because there's a chance investors will log profits this year! Everyone has the chance to get a front row seat at our egalitarian meetings... come early and often. The Sturgeon General of California has determined that second-hand stock tips may be hazardous to your wealth... but the good news is he's smoking again and California has no money to cure his upcoming lung cancer. Satisfaction with these meetings is not guaranteed... but we are rated "AAA" among Illinois NorthShore AAII subgroups.  Discussion at North Shore meetings may include disinformation, misinformation or ugly factoids... persons under 18 will not be admitted without a stockholder. The average investment reward realized by people attending North Shore AAII Subgroup meetings is only surpassed by the value of the warm glow that our intellectual conversation and camaraderie generate.

FUTURE MEETING DATES

July 28, 2009 [4th Tuesday!] -- Group Member Gil Adams will review the best-selling 2009 book Contagion -- "the financial epidemic that is sweeping the global economy -- and how to protect yourself from it" by John R. Talbott. 

August 25, 2009 [4th Tuesday!] -- Another way to make a bundle!

 

Quote of the Month
