ECONOMIC OUTLOOK AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE STOCK MARKET
 September 21, 2020 - Gary Pollock, Senior Managing Director for First Republic Private Wealth Management, shared his perspectives on the economy and stock market. His presentation is available HERE.  A live video is also available in "Read More" and will be available until October 25.
Gary is a generous supporter of our Golf Tournament and is a Paul Harris Fellow. Gary's perspective on the market and economy is very positive in general. He discussed various sectors and gave good rationales for his opinions on which sectors will survive and grow and which will die a slow death. He doesn't believe the current political turmoil will have a long term effect on the market but cautions that the ride will be bumpy. He discouraged investors from trying to time the market and one of his adages was "there are 3 animals in the market - the bears will sometimes gain and the bulls will sometimes gain but the hogs will be slaughtered."
His presentation generated lots of comments and questions.  His presentation is available HERE.
 
The following video will be available until October 25

VIRTUAL TEACHING IN THE AGE OF COVID
 September 14, 2020 - Dr Raquel Salas gave us a brief overview of her career and then described the current educational environment.
 Her presentation is available HERE.  A live video is also available in "Read More" until Oct. 15
Dr. Salas was educated in Mexico and came to Arizona 8 years ago. She works for the Tempe Union High School District. She teaches over 150 students and works as a sponsor for 3 clubs. She said that COVID made clear the disparities among students and families. Many low income families don't have access to the internet and there is a significant danger of kids getting lost. COVID separated people but politics polarized the climate. One of her frustrations is that people are attacking schools, teachers, and districts and don't seem willing to negotiate. She told us that one of her biggest challenges is how to give attention to the 30 special needs students that are in her classes. She said that she works in the empty classroom and thinks the challenges brought about by COVID have helped make her a better teacher.  Her presentation is available HERE.
 
The following video will be available until October 15.
