We Invite You to Hear Larry Swedroe
We invite you to an event with Larry Swedroe on Wednesday, February 5th at the Saint Louis Club. Larry is one of 22 well-known names in finance quoted in The Wall Street Journal’s December 29, 2013 article The Best Financial Advice I Ever Got (or Gave). Larry’s best advice is: “the strategy to get rich—take concentrated risk, typically with your labor capital/business—is entirely different than the strategy to stay rich, which is to minimize the risks we take, diversify the ones we take as much as possible, keep costs low, tax efficiency high, and don’t spend too much.”
We are proud to offer this opportunity to hear Larry, and we look forward to seeing you there. Details are shown below. For those unable to attend, a video of the entire conversation is now available here.
