More than 800 investors are expected to attend the free educational event. More Americans than ever are putting their hard-earned money in the market. Educated investors create stronger markets, and they are better able to protect themselves against potential fraud and abuse. The SEC Chairman will offer basic tips and answer questions on how to make informed investment decisions, monitor investments and avoid problems. He will also point out the questions people should ask before they invest.
Admission is free, but reservations are recommended because seating is limited.
