Keynote Speaker - Clyde C. Harrison
"Your Economic Wake-up Call"
Moneypenny Room
7:45am - 8:10am

Clyde Harrison was Carl Icahn’s partner for ten years. He founded the Jim Rogers Raw Materials Fund. He has served as a member of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the Chicago Board Options Exchange and the International Monetary Market. He developed the Brookshire Indices and is the President of the Brookshire Core Funds. But he’s best known for his passion for “stuff”; his reference to commodities.

Mr. Harrison has addressed leaders of business and government worldwide - recently he was a keynote speaker at the Federal Reserve conference on the future of the American dollar. His unique and thought-provoking take on the global economy - and the insatiable demand for “stuff” as its driver – is a great wake-up call and his message will be of significant importance to both corporate executives and portfolio managers.

Moneypenny Room
8:10am - 8:15am

After 23 years with A.G. Edwards as a vice president and senior research analyst, Media & Entertainment, Michael has joined Noble Financial as Director of Research.

Mr. Kupinski is widely quoted in national publications such as USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and the New York Times and is a frequent guest on cable news networks CNBC, CNN, and Bloomberg TV. Michael will introduce the Noble Research team.
