 Marc Ryan (our founder) gives conferences and speeches based on the philosophy of our site. 
 
Marc has given conferences to a prominent Canadian law firm (Ogilvy Renault), to the oldest investment club in Canada (Optimus investment club), to the Juri-Club (members of the Superior Court and Court of Qu�bec in Montr�al) and to an association dedicated to education and the defense of shareholder rights (the M�DAC).
 
Here are 10 reasons to hire Marc to speak to your members, employees, customers or students: 
 
 
	- Marc’s conferences are intended to be informal and two-way in nature. Participants come away with interesting, useful and up-to-date information.
 
 
	-  An impressive background : engineering graduate (McGill University), law degree (University of Montreal), , masters in business law (University of Montreal), 30 years of work experience with a Canadian securities regulator and two major Canadian securities issuers, a member of the Canadian Governor General’s Study Conference 1987, and a frequent lecturer.
 
 
	- An independent thinker; Marc is not associated with banks or brokers. His conferences and his web site provide objective and unbiased information, not investment advice tainted by conflicts of interest; for more on this distinction, see the US Department of Labor interpretive bulletin 96-1  doc.1560.
 
 
	- He delivers a clear, focused message: the importance of savings, avoiding risky techniques, costs matter, and not trying to beat the market.
 
 
	- His speeches are an end in themselves, not part one of an attempt to manage your money.
 
 
	- His conferences will help you better manage your money. They may not make you wealthier, but may well help you not to become poorer quickly.
 
 
	- Marc can use terms like 
 Asset Allocation and exchange traded funds without losing your attention or interest. 
 
	- At 6’2’’ he is easy to spot in a room, and is fluently bilingual..
 
 
	- Convinced you have found the next Google? Marc will bring you back to reality.
 
 
	- Being retired, he has the time to maintain a related website which conference participants can access as a post-conference (free) reinforcer. 
 
 
If your organization is interested in retaining Marc, please contact us.
