We believed that once the pandemic was over, we would return to business as usual. Nothing could be further from the truth. What used to be no longer is and many of us don’t know what to think of this new economy in which we now live.
Mark will draw on his experiences of working with Sir John Templeton, Michael Price, and Dr. Mark Mobius to discuss the most important economic events happening right now. He will deliver an informed outlook focused on HOW WE GOT TO NOW and where we possibly go from here.
In this presentation, you will learn:
- How this economy is unfolding similarly to what transpired after the Bubonic Plague
- How we are in the early stages of the next industrial revolution and what it may be
- How our job is to see it before it becomes obvious and how historical events of more than 650 years may lead the way
- Why inflation is falling and why it will continue to do so in the near future ...less
Is it Different This Time?

While working for Sir John Templeton in the mid-1990s, he once told me that the person who says, “This time is different, when in fact it’s virtually a repeat of an earlier situation, has uttered the four most costly words in the annals of investing.” That was over 25 years ago, and even though many of Mr. Templeton’s sentiments on investing remain true today, is this one of them? In this presentation, I will discuss how we got to now and where we go from here. I will also explore the more current events which are not rooted in any historical context that might conjure the question, “Is it different this time?”
In this presentation, you will learn:
- How the Federal Reserve caused the Great Depression and how Ben Bernanke stated the Fed would never do it again
- How a popular children’s book written in 1900 (that we all know) and a movie produced in 1939 (that we have all seen) is not actually a children’s story but a commentary on monetary policy
- Why the Base Effect is so important to understand as it regards to inflation
- How the Golden Age of Labor has, in the past, and will again, benefit the average worker for decades to come
- Why I am so optimistic about the future ...less

We live in increasingly uncertain times; rapid economic changes, global unrest, and bi-partisan bickering have all led to an underlying sense of uncertainty. In addition to the current climate, headlines are screaming that robots and artificial intelligence are going to eliminate workers’ jobs.
What if they are all wrong? What if we are merely extrapolating the present and ignoring the possibilities of the future? History books are full of examples of previous revolutions that came and went; the industrial revolution, the railroad revolution, electrification, mass production, and now, quite possibly, the information technology revolution. In this presentation, you will discover how we are nearing the end of this revolution while another is just beginning, providing a fresh wave of prosperity.
Now is the time to ask yourself, “What Happens Next”?
In this presentation, you will learn:
- How history repeats itself and will continue to do so in the future
- How the evolution of a revolution unfolds and how it has always unfolded in the exact same manner
- The eight steps that make up a revolution and the number of years it takes to complete the cycle
- Why there are reasons to be optimistic about tomorrow ...less
