Atlanta Falcons Minority Owner Ed Mendel Leads Engaging Financial Forum at Marcus JCC of Atlanta: "Navigating Financially in an Uncertain World"

On Wednesday, October 24, 2012 at 7:30 pm, the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta (MJCCA) is pleased to welcome Guest Presenter Ed Mendel, as he leads an engaging financial forum, “Navigating Financially in an Uncertain World,” at the MJCCA (5342 Tilly Mill Road, Dunwoody, GA 30338).  This is the third time that Ed will provide his accumulated knowledge and guidance through a forum like this. For information, call 678.812.3984 or visit on-line at www.atlantajcc.org. 

“In addition to global social and political uncertainly,” Ed explains, “we're facing a necessary worldwide global monetary self-correction.”  “I'll make suggestions about how to limit your financial exposure and strengthen your portfolio,” he advises. “I have nothing to gain except the satisfaction that I may have mitigated some losses or facilitated some gains.”  

Gail Luxenberg, CEO of the MJCCA explains, “Ed Mendel is back by popular demand. He founded one of the largest industrial research firms in the U.S. and we can all benefit from his insight about where our economy is headed in the immediate future, and what you must do to protect your assets.”

Presentation Topics Include:

The critical significance of diversifying your investments through multiple vendors;

Why doing nothing can be the most dangerous thing for you financially;

Assets offering a store of value.

Ed will begin the evening with a fun and enlightening video.  He'll pepper the evening with video and slide comic relief; and a short question & answer period will follow.
