Lunch with a purpose

Raquel

Just this past week I had the privilege of attending the Baltimore CFA Society’s (BCFAS) 2010 Market Outlook.  The luncheon kicked off with a speech by the current BCFAS president Niall O’Malley followed by presentations from two portfolio managers.  It was a very informative hour in which the presenters discussed their thoughts about the year ahead for the finance community.  They focused on a variety of topics, but not surprisingly, I was most interested in hearing how they viewed the current economic climate and what effects they thought it would have on the markets going forward.  I got the idea that both presenters were actually very optimistic about what lies ahead and expect a less tumultuous 2010 – which is certainly good news for all investors!

The second reason for the luncheon was to kick off the inaugural issue of the Baltimore Business Review.  The publication is part of a collaboration between the BCFA and Towson’s College of Business and Economics.  There were 10 contributors ranging from investment advisors, portfolio managers, professors and me!  I really enjoyed working on this project because I got to see all the work that goes behind putting together such a publication.  There were countless hours of editing, reviewing drafts, and putting together the final layout.  It was very exciting to actually see it all come together.  If you are interested in reading the issue this link will take you to the PDF article Baltimore Business Review 2010.
