Quarterly Speaker Series:
Market Upside Down:
How to Invest Profitably in a Shrinking Economy

Dr. Vinh Q. Tran
Date: Thursday, April 15, 2010
Venue: New York
Time: 5:30-7:30 PM

Dr. Vinh Q. TranThe waves of mortgage defaults that pushed the banking system to near-collapse and triggered stock market freefalls in 2008 may be receding, but the debt crisis is hardly over. The global debt problem and possible sovereign debt defaults are gaining headlines, with Greece as the poster "bad boy." In the U.S., the rising national debt to record levels, massive government budget deficits and the overloaded household balance sheets are poised to re-ignite the worst financial debacle since the 1929 Depression, raising the specter of Japan-like lost decades.

The next bubble is brewing.

Intelligent investors can't just mourn the death of easy profits and the losses to their life savings: what they need now are sound strategies that preserve their capital and profit in markets of shrinking economic opportunities. In Market Upside Down, Dr. Vinh Q. Tran presents indispensable strategies for building wealth and preserving capital against market declines. With Tran's deep market knowledge and seasoned experience, investors will find just the right tools for navigating the upside down markets.

The deep distrust in the financial mechanism and the credit crunch has brought the worldwide economy to its knees. In this extreme financial environment, FX shines like a beacon of safety and returns. There is no bear market in FX and no constraining times of trading. Let's find out more about this new asset class and why you have to be in it now more than ever. We'll look at the benefits of currency trading and address the newest game changer: currencies competitive devaluation! If you are either a novice to the market or an expert, I will seek to make this presentation useful to your professional life. Talk with you soon! Cornelius
