EVENT DETAILS: Monthly Meeting June 2022 

“Are we in Bubble Trouble?”

Let’s take a look at the data in our crystal ball……

Nobody knows for sure what tomorrow may bring. Nobody really has a crystal ball.

At our June meeting, we hope to deliver the timeliest information about our local regional market so that you can make the best educated decisions on how to invest and profit from market conditions.

Our speakers will be:

Dr. Mouhcine Guettabi, UNCW Associate Professor of Economics & Finance, will share data on the state of our regional economy. He earned his PhD in economics with an emphasis on Urban and Regional Economics from Oklahoma State University in 2012. He is an applied microeconomist with two main streams of research: the effect of natural resources on households and communities, and the socioeconomic effects of unconditional cash transfers.

Clinton ran one of the largest real estate foreclosure departments in our region for most of his career. He is the first to know when the market is about to decline or take off. He knows where to look and what to look for.
