Welcome to the 2009 Money Show in Las Vegas! Dear Fellow Investor: Over the past year the markets have tested our will as investors. Sell? Hold? Bottom feed? Sell short? There are more questions than answers these days and we have to be agile with our money, which is easier said than done. While there is hope, as some advisors suggest Fed rate cuts, government stimulus, delayed foreclosures, and Buffett’s mammoth bank investment will buoy the economy and stock market, others suggest the housing situation will continue on into 2009 dragging the economy down. Lucky for us, we’ll be able to step back, assess what’s happening, and adjust our portfolios, May 11-14 at The Money Show in Las Vegas. As the new President take office and measures taken to ward off a recession continue, another world-class program and assembly of the elite in investment advice and services will give you every opportunity to refresh your perspective and prepare yourself the uncertainty that may lie ahead. Two Distinct Communities—One Common Goal The launch of our newly redesigned Web site, MoneyShow.com, in 2008 marked another milestone in our continuing quest to bring the best investment experts to investors around the world. With this online educational channel that you can access from anywhere, anytime, we’re delivering an interactive multi-media experience, designed to bring The Money Shows directly to you—even long after each show is over. Yet, there is no substitute for a face-to-face experience. That’s why we encourage you to mark May 11-14, 2009, in your date book and join us in Las Vegas at the stunning Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino. For four days, the crème de la crème of the financial industry will converge in Las Vegas to share with you—up close and in person—their expert advice and specific recommendations to help you manage your portfolio profitably during these uncertain times. You’ll have countless opportunities for face-to-face interaction to ask your own portfolio questions and receive personalized answers from the experts, which simply isn’t possible on the Internet. At over 220 workshops, world-class experts deliver interactive sessions, designed to bring you the latest intelligence available so you can make better investment or trading decisions. The exhibit hall—with over 200 exhibitors—allows you to evaluate the latest financial tools, best software, and advice on the markets from great research companies—all under one roof—and your questions are answered immediately and face-to-face by representatives who have proven strategies to improve your market performance.
