Tarkio Tech to offer class on “Beginning Investing”

If you have waded into the world of investment and been swept off by the undertow of doubt and confusion, you may want to join Blake Hurst at Tarkio Tech beginning Thursday, August 6, for a four-session continuing education class entitled “Beginning Investing.”

A beginning investing class can be useful if you’re new to investing, want to manage some of your own money, or simply want to better understand financial news and retirement planning. This class can help you build the knowledge and confidence to make informed financial decisions.

This four-session class is scheduled to meet on August 6, 13, 20, and 27 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Curnutt Center at Thompson Library on the Tarkio College campus. The class can help you understand the basics, avoid costly mistakes, learn how markets work, develop an investing plan, improve retirement readiness, build confidence, and understand fees and taxes.

Blake Hurst, a Tarkio area farmer, has been investing for nearly 50 years. He’s lost money in the stock market and once owned a General Motors bond right before the Great Financial Crisis. He has also served for 10 years on the investment committee of a firm with over one billion dollars invested in public markets, where he was the chief executive officer. He has learned from his mistakes and this is an opportunity to learn with him as you explore the investment landscape together.

You can attend in person, or you may join online. To register for the class or to receive instruction on how to attend online, contact Tarkio Tech at 660-623-9071.
