THE AAII DENVER CHAPTER PRESENTS

 Greece, the PIIGS, Euro, Dollar: Implications for USA & Investors

by Jim Kneser and Sam Jones
 
Wednesday, September 22, 2010

The euro managed to rally from June to early August, but major issues remain ahead.  Mounting public debt in weak EC nations requires austerity, which could be politically unacceptable. Austerity will drag on already-anemic economic activity. What are the implications for world economies including ours in the USA?  How does the US federal deficit trend compare to those in Europe?  What lessons and implications should US policymakers draw from the PIIGS problem? What does all of this portend for investment markets and individual investors?  Economist Jim Kneser will address the economic points and portfolio manager Sam Jones will explore the investment implications and options.

Jim Kneser, who spoke at a sold-out AAII meeting in June 2009 to high praise, is a retired professor with a deep world view on the world and domestic economies. He lectures frequently at Denver's  Academy for Lifeling Learning, where he is also a Director. Sam Jones, president of All Season Financial Advisorrs Inc., is a Registered Investment Advisor and a member of the National Association of Active Investment Managers.  His practice differs from the usual model: he has definite views and expresses them in portfolio actions. Sam earned a BA in Economics/Finance  from Colby College and a Master’s in Information Technology from the Daniels School at DU.
