Scott Burns’ nearly 25 years of experience researching and
writing about the financial industry make him an expert in his field.
Burns’ lively presentations are always informational yet easy
to understand. His speeches can range from 30 minutes to a full-day
seminar. Most topics allow time for a Q&A session at the end,
which always draws good audience response.
He can cover a number of topics including, but not limited to:
- Money — the Rest of the Story.
Profoundly personal decisions can guide (and improve) financial
planning. The most important personal decisions are about spending
while working, where you live, and the house you live in. Decisions
made on these issues can dramatically reduce the pressure on investment
performance in your financial assets.
- The Seven Laws of Personal Finance.
With the resources available to us today, each of us can
“do” our personal finances. Three-hundred- to 900-page
books fill bookstore shelves, and magazines giving advice arrive
in the mail monthly for readers to keep up with the latest information
and trends. “Doing” our finances can be time-consuming
and just plain overwhelming to many people. But the basics of
personal finance are really fairly simple. Master them and your
financial future is assured. Those simple rules can be captured
in seven “laws.”
- Investing – Where It Has Been,
Where It Is, and Where It’s Going. A funny review
of past fads, corporate bloopers, mishaps and unintended consequences.
This provides a backdrop to introduce the concept of the Couch
Potato portfolio (an invention of Scott Burns to simplify investing
with better-than-average results by investing 50/50 in only two
types of funds), or a simple variation on it, look like a very
good way to invest.
