Looks like South Florida's spring break this year isn't going to be just where the boys are.
Fort Lauderdale will also be the locale for some bonds gone wild with the top guns of Wall Street. LDV Capital Management will party with its own series of
weeklong celebrations at its fourth Growth & Value
Investor Conference, also known as "Spring Break for Wall Street."
The
five-week event includes a series of dinner presentations
by a number of publicly
traded companies, including popular New York Stock Exchange company heavy hitters like Aflac, Fidelity National Info. Services, and Petrobras.
The reason they chose South Florida, according to the Stock and Bond Club of South Florida, is the concentration of professional money managers and private equity investors.
The conference, however, seems to be ignoring that South Florida is also the unofficial headquarters of Scott Rothstein-style Ponzi investment scams. Here's hoping at least one breakout session addresses how to keep our meager retirement savings out of pyramid schemes.
