Everything You Wanted to Know About the Stock Market But Were Afraid to Ask

February 1, 2022

Join Perigon for our next Women’s Conversation Circle.

Date: Thursday, February 24, 2022
Where: Online via Zoom – we’ll send out a conference link the week of the circle
Time: 4:00pm – 5:30pm Pacific Time
RSVP: conversationcircles@perigonwealth.com

As the stock market has been swirling over these last several weeks, you may have heard a few phrases or concepts that sounded unfamiliar. Is a “drawdown” different from a “pullback”? Is a “correction” a good thing or a bad thing? What do interest rates have to do with the stock market? Why do people talk about “bulls” and “bears”? And what is “fixed income,” anyway?

For our next Women’s Circle, we’re going to change up the format a little and do an “ask us anything”-style event. As always, this is a safe space, so there are absolutely no dumb questions. Please feel free to bring a list of jargon/terms that you find confusing: We’ll try to demystify as much as we can and put things into plain English. We want everyone to walk away feeling empowered and educated.

Don’t want to ask your question in front of the group? That’s fine too — just send us your questions when you RSVP. We’ll make sure they get answered.

One note: Please be mindful that we won’t be providing investment advice. That’s something best done within an individual, one-to-one advisory context.

Please be prompt.  The Zoom room will close to new participants at 4:05; latecomers are a distraction.  We promise to be done at 5:30 pm PT.

Please feel free to share with other female friends, colleagues or family members who would be interested in joining us.

Circle space is limited to keep the circles intimate, and to let everyone who wants to participate have the time to do so. If there’s enough interest, we’ll add a second session.

Want to join us? Send us an email and we’ll add you to the mailing list for this and future events.
