EVENTS IN NOVEMBER AT BEEKMAN LIBRARY
Secrets Wall Street Doesn’t Want You to Know
Saturday, November 8
10:30 AM – 12:30 PM
Free. Registration required.
Have you just come into some money or have some money to invest? This lively, fact-packed seminar is a must for those who want to learn from a consumer advocate, Richard Nathan. Since he is not a salesman and has nothing to sell you, he will be blunt and straightforward about things that you are not supposed to know and were never taught in high school or college. You will be taught how not to be ripped off when buying or leasing cars, buying insurance, investigating long term care insurance, investing with or without financial planners and when investing in mutual funds on your own. After taking this course, you will have the confidence to invest on your own or be able to interview financial planners so you can find those who are truly working for you. It’s time to take charge of your money! You may sign up online at beekmanlibrary.org/calendar or call 845-724-3414.
