Presenter: Doug Smith, AAII Columbus Chapter President
Presentation Topic: History Rhymes-Are You Ready?
Mark Twain said history rhymes, not repeats itself. What’s the difference? We think there are common causes for history to repeat itself, but the causes don’t create exactly the same trends each time.
We will review causes for change, possible new trends the causes create and possible ways to take advantage of the opportunities that appear.
Three things you will learn:
1. The common causes for history to rhyme
2. Possible different trends coming from the causes colliding
3. Time for attitude adjustment-increasing income and defensive opportunities and reconsidering risks. Investment plan tweak ideas?
