ENLIGHTENMENT: How to Manage Your Money During These Turbulent Times

Here are headlines from the past week that inspired this salon talk:

* The U.S. stock market has entered “correction mode,” having lost 10 percent of its value.
* Gold prices hit a historic high of $3,000 per ounce.
* Consumer confidence has plummeted while inflation anxiety soars.
* Economists are using the words “horrific,” “uncertain times” and “rising risk of recession.”

So what does this mean for you, your wallet, your investments and your retirement?

We’ve invited some financial experts to tell us what’s going on right now with global finance; how it’s affecting the U.S. economy and stock market; how all that craziness could impact our pocketbook; and what moves, if any, we should make with our money right now to keep calm and carry on.

OUR GUESTS
* Jane Delfendahl, board member CFA Society Sacramento
* Julian Robinson, fellow of the Society of Actuaries, member of the American Academy of Actuaries (and standup comedian)

Join us for a conversation and bring your questions to ask the money managers. No question is too small or too dumb.
