It's Different This Time... Isn't It?
Booms, Bubbles, Busts and Re-Building: How Financial Markets Learn from their Mistakes, and then Insist on Repeating ThemFrom Tulipmania in 1637 to the U.S. housing bust in 2007/2008, financial manias have demonstrated a remarkable consistency in their structure. By examining the features and ingredients of past booms and busts, can we come up with a recipe that will help at least some people avoid these seemingly inevitable financial disasters? The answer is yes.
We will meet the rational and irrational investor, the rube and the carny, the fraudster and the widow, and the banker and the borrower to hear what they have learned from past manias and what they can teach us about protecting ourselves in the future. We'll also take a look at how Wall Street and Bay Street might look once this current market volatility settles.

Frontier College greatly benefited from Marty Cej hosting its' annual SCRABBLE® Corporate Challenge fundraiser. Marty stepped in two days before the event and with such ease and grace. He can hold an audience captive with his professionalism, considerable communication abilities, stage presence and his sense of humour. Marty ensured the night ran smoothly and on time, which helped make this the most successful SCRABBLE® Corporate Challenge to date.

We had the great pleasure of having Marty host our 15th Annual Canadian Investment Awards Gala and were extremely impressed with his professionalism, charm and true skill at both managing a very large audience and the maneuvering the trials of our challenging event. I would recommend Marty without hesitation and would have him back anytime.

Marty was just great today! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed his session and most said they could listen to him all day!!! Seriously! he was interesting, funny, relevant, a tad irreverent which we all appreciate (me in particular) and they learned something: a wonderful combination and so valuable for a speaker at an event like ours today. He helped make the Federation's first conference a tremendous success.
