John Authers Speaking Topics

  • Value Investing

    An alumnus of the Columbia Business School class in Value Investing which was started by Benjamin Graham and taken by Warren Buffett, John can enthusiastically address the issues surrounding value investing.

  • Banking Regulation and its Flaws
