This is the investment business event you can’t afford to miss!

Colossal Calgary is a once-in-a-lifetime event, a chance to hear the insider’s perspective on the debacle that was Lehman Brothers, the first domino that fell in the tumble leading to the current financial crisis. Lawrence G. McDonald, former vice-president of Distressed Debt and Convertible Securities at Lehman Brothers, has written the number one business book in the world “A Colossal Failure of Common Common Sense”. And now he’s bringing his message to Calgary on June 3, 2010 from 3:30 – 6:00 p.m

Here’s a note from the author to give you a little taste:

It’s been said that there are two distinct groups of people in America: “Wall Street” and “Main Street”—the former composed of people who keep the financial plumbing of the latter in good condition so that everyone will prosper. Wall Street has, however, become increasingly complex and opaque, and many on Main Street have only the most basic notion of what it does. In addition, Wall Street, particularly with the collapse and bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in September 2008, was the epicenter of the worldwide financial crises that brought the global economy close to a complete collapse.
