In what has become an annual highlight, we are privileged to have a money manager of Bruce Johnstone’s stature speak to us. The American economy and U.S. corporate profits remain sluggish. Rising savings rates, intrusive domestic politics, massive entitlement and debt loads are some of the contributing factors. Internationally, the U.S. faces economic slowdowns from Brexit and the EU. Additionally, deterioration in China, weakening of the oil sector and the many geopolitical hot spots are creating huge uncertainty. It is highly likely that these discouraging conditions will encourage even more monetary and fiscal stimulus. Johnstone will discuss economic and market background, and also present suggestions on how these adverse conditions could be resolved.<\/p>\n
