Personal Financial Management Strategies Seminars Prior to RSNA 2005

RSNA is offering two personal financial seminars on Saturday, November 26, 2005, at McCormick Place in Chicago. These two popular sessions are prior to the RSNA annual meeting. Includes a textbook written specifically for the course!

Protecting Assets From Creditor Claims, Including Malpractice Claims
10:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Presented by Barry Rubenstein, B.S., J.D., L.L.M.

In today’s tort claim environment, a practitioner’s exposure to potential malpractice and creditor claims in excess of insurance coverage has dramatically increased. This course addresses, in essential detail, how to minimize and even avoid that exposure and protect hard-earned assets from creditor attack.

Effective Real Estate Investment Strategies
1:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.

Presented by J. Michael Moody, M.B.A.

Astute investors know that investment real estate pays steadier and higher cash returns than stocks and that no other investment offers the combined advantages of cash flow, appreciation and tax shelter. This course will provide attendees with a strong foundation and working knowledge of investment real estate. Unlike financial planner or stockbroker provided courses, there is absolutely no sales pitch.

Registration Fees: (These seminars do not qualify for AMA category 1 credit.)

• Protecting Assets From Creditor Claims………….……………. $129
