This week’s program was introduced by Gary Plant. His speaker was John Johnson of Harbor Financial Services. John began with an analysis of what actions in the banking, political, and investment arenas led to the downfall of the market. Then his presentation moved to a demonstration of how to invest in stocks using “puts” and “calls”. He demonstrated how with selected stocks, astute investors are able to realize good returns in futures, even in today’s shaky market.
His presentation then led to a lively discussion between the speaker and the audience over what the future holds for our economy, and what must occur before recovery begins. Many felt that this will be a long, deep recession which borders on the depression…and we have a long, slow recovery after the bottom is reached. These are all subjects which demand our attention at this time.
