Novi Library hosts Investor Education In Your Community

Making the complex simple! 

January 18. “Investing Fundamentals: It's As Easy As 1-2-3” brings you a broad and diverse introductory-level overview of some of the more popular elements that make up the financial markets:  exchanges, primary and secondary markets, stocks, bonds and mutual funds.  It also brings insight and common-sense concepts you can use to avoid common investing pitfalls and to help you make better, more-informed investment decisions while you build your wealth within the financial markets.

February 7:  "7 Simple Steps to Manage Your Investments."

This presentation teaches an easy-to-follow 7-step process for organizing, coordinating, and managing all your separate investment accounts as one purposeful, overall portfolio. By following these 7 steps you will be better equipped to answer three very important questions about their investments: “what do I own, why do I own it and how am I doing?” Asset allocation, diversification concepts and relevant must-know information is combined with 3 steps to avoid scams and investment fraud to round out this program.

March 15. "Your Retirement: Boom or Bust?"

Are you nearly 50 years old or better?  This real-world presentation is organized to provide direction on how to get control over the management and oversight of your retirement assets.  No worn-out generalities or out-dated advice.  Instead, you will be instructed on two important themes.  1:  how to differentiate between your assumptions about the future and what you actually do know, can know, and therefore control. 2:  how to apply an ‘adaptive’ investment strategy that takes into account long-term secular and short-term cyclical market trends and their potential effects on your stock and bond returns during retirement.
