Local Businessman/Author Mike Carpenter to speak about "The Risk-Wise Investor"

A bit jittery about investing?  Every move seems risky?   Investment industry veteran Mike Carpenter can help.  Join Mike  for a (surprisingly) fun evening in which you'll learn how to bring well-honed risk management strategies into your investing life - and beyond - on Thursday, January 21, 2010 at 7:00 PM at the Wellesley Free Library.  

He'll be talking about his empowering book, The Risk Wise Investor: How to Better Understand and Manage Risk which offers user-friendly risk management tools, tips, and techniques for a less certain world. Though a very high level of investor uncertainty, anxiety, and concern about risk now exists, the vast majority of investors do not genuinely understand investment risk-let alone how to effectively manage it. The Risk-Wise Investor offers a totally new, user-friendly, non-technical way to help you better understand and manage uncertainty and risk.  This practical guide will help investors avoid many common pitfalls and make well informed, knowledge-based decisions when facing uncertainty and risk.
