Lido Investment Conference

Last week I had the great pleasure of attending the 6th Annual Lido Investment Conference. It was hosted by Lido's President and Founder, Greg Kushner. Greg Kushner put together a truly outstanding Conference. Besides Kushner, the Keynote speakers included:

Bobby Kennedy, Jr.
Earvin "Magic" Johnson
Greg Valliere, Chief Policy Strategist, Potomac Research Group
Ron S. Geffner, Sadis & Goldberg LLP

Also speaking were:
Ron Altman, Senior Vice President, Senior Portfolio Manager, MDSASS
Luciano Siracusano, Chief Investment Strategist & Director of Sales, Wisdom Tree Asset Management, Inc.
John M. Birrenkott, Founder and Chief Strategy Officer, Wealthbook

These speakers were outstanding, and there were many others not mentioned here.

Suffice it to say, there was a plethora of experience and knowledge about investments that was invaluable. The investments spoken about ranged across the entire spectrum. We'll feature some tidbits of information in future BLOGS.

Have a great day!
