Gordon Dolfie, Chief Docent of the Observatory and the Art Cort Sky Theater, will update us on what is happening and what we can see when we visit these facilities built by Rotary Club of Cameron Park. Don't miss the story of what this high-impact project of ours has meant to the community.
Joshua Stander from the Capitol Planning Group, presented on "Investing 102" with an emphasis on the current market outlook during this pandemic. The main topics presented were: Investing during COVID-19; Strategic vs. Tactical Investing; and Investing in Retirement. For a repeat of his presentation, follow this Facebook Live link and drag the round progress indicator to the 21:10 point.
Joshua explained that the runup in the stock market since it's 2020 low in March was due to the $9 trillion that the Federal Reserve injected into the economy in 2020 so far. Josh believes that we are overdue for a recession and that bonds are not going to offer much safety, saying that many consider the bond market a bubble waiting to pop. For the tumultuous times we are facing now, Joshua presented a tactical style of investing, which is active and changes asset allocations as the market fluctuates. For more info on Joshua's suggestions, please visit the link above. It was a stimilating presentation that gave us a lot of food for thought.
Doug Bisbee and Dave Sargent and others put labels into each 3rd grader dictionary/gazetteer/mini-encyclopedia and Steve Long delivered them to each of the elementary schools we traditionally serve. Due to the pandemic we were not able to present the books individually to each student.
