PROGRAM (August 13, 2002)

JANE TURNER introduced BOB GRIFFITHS whose topic is on everyone's minds these days - the Stock Market. He redefined some well-known abbreviations for us (CEO - Chief Embezzlement Officer, CFO - Corporate Fraud Officer, PE - Parole Eligible, etc.) and shared statistics showing the results of bear markets over the past 40 years. BOB introduced new Rotarian RONDA WALSH SCHWAB who presented rules of thumb for investing (have a plan, stick to quality, diversify) and JIM KLUZMAN who shared thoughts of professional money managers on the current state of the markets. Thanks to all three for a most interesting program.
