Our Head & Heart… today! 11/14/20

By Andrea Young on November 15, 2020

Thank you to everyone that was able to attend our webinar this past November 10th. We had a lively and informative discussion about the possible policy implications of the election results, and the impact on the markets and the economy.

We are sharing our recording of that session, in case you were not able to attend our webinar. Please feel free to share it with friends, family and colleagues.

As always, do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or comments.
