Zoom with Bill Simon - Financial Bubbles

Hello ’73 classmates -

Winter Study starts on the Williams campus Jan. 3. We have an opportunity to get in on the educational fun on Monday evening, Jan. 23 when Bill Simon ’73 will give a Zoom presentation to our class summarizing his UCLA course on financial bubbles. We’ll learn about bubbles from Tulip mania in Holland in the 1630’s to more recent ones, presumably including crypto.

Bill teaches a number of courses at UCLA, and co-founded the Benjamin Graham Value Investing Program, a concentration for undergraduates considering a career in finance. He has real world experience too, including having been the chair of the Williams College Board of Trustee’s Budget Committee during the economic meltdown of ’08.

Bill also teaches a Winter Study course on leadership at Williams, and will be speaking to us from Williamstown. So please join us and return to the days of Winter Study this January by marking your calendar and signing up at the link below! Registering is required to participate. The event will start at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Jan. 23 and, between Bill’s presentation and time for questions and discussion, will probably run about 90 minutes.
