Below is the opening text from a speech by Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke on "Education and Economic Competitiveness" in Washington D.C. on September 24, 2007:
“When I travel around the country, meeting with students, business people, and others interested in the economy, I am occasionally asked for investment advice. Usually (though not always) the question is posed in jest. No one really expects me to tell them which three stocks they should buy. However, I know the answer to the question and I will share it with you today: Education is the best investment."
Please feel free to call us at 727-341-3302 or e-mail the Foundation with any questions.
