2024 Advanced Investment Webinar
Aired Live December 2024 - Recorded Series Available for Purchase
Join us for the 2024 Advanced Investment Webinar—a unique teaching seminar for both newer and more seasoned investors wanting to take control of their own investment portfolios. We will teach stocks, bonds, real estate, and more. Historically this has been our most popular seminar – and for good reason. It is 100% focused on education. We want doctors to have a better understanding of investments so they can feel more comfortable taking control of their own portfolios. Many attendees return year after year because the strategies they learn have proven tremendously profitable.

Making Investing Understandable with Our 5-Part Webinar
This 5-part webinar emphasizes simple and sane long-term investing that combines (1) a knowledge of investment history so that we have a sense of what is normal, (2) a methodology for selecting and analyzing individual investments, and (3) the right temperament for successful long-term investing. The idea is that we will then know WHAT we are doing, WHY we are doing it, and WHEN we should do it. That makes it easier to avoid panicking when markets fall and easier to avoid freezing up when the “experts” contradict each other. By understanding the value of the investments you own, you can add to them with confidence when markets periodically hang “for sale” prices on them, as they will continue to do from time to time.
