contrary
opinion forum
October 8th - October 10th, 2008
Registration is now available.
Once
again we will hold our
Contrary Opinion Forum at the Basin
Harbor Club in Vergennes, Vermont.
This year marks the 46th anniversary for this event. The picturesque
and spacious facility for the Forum is located on the eastern shore of
Lake Champlain about 28 miles south of Burlington.
Economists, investment managers and contrary-minded individuals from

conference. The Forum centers around the idea of learning to think for
yourself in solving practical investment problems.

Schedule
Our
opening session is
Wednesday at 5pm. The following day, Thursday, we have a full
day
of speakers, but there is always plenty of time (and we encourage)
question and answer sessions with the mixing of ideas in a friendly
atmosphere. Friday's session begins with a speaker and concludes with a
moderated session with an expanded panel. The forum concludes following
lunch.
Spouses are invited to attend, and there is an abundance of alternative
activities for those not interested in Forum sessions. Please contact
us if we can assist with arrangements for outside activities.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are held in the main dining room where
portions are hearty and the food is always an epicurean delight.
