Annual Beverly Hills Economic Summit

One of the speakers at today's Beverly Hills Economic Summit opened with this line from Paul Valery, "The Trouble with our times is that the future is not what it used to be." Of course, Thomas Higgins, Chief Economist at Payden & Rygel Investment Counsel got the first laugh of the day from the distinguished panelists and the audience of leading Beverly Hills business representatives. There was general [soft] optimism amongst the panelists who ranged from the high-end retail side to investment companies.
