Camp Kotok Corner   Perspectives, News, and/or Resources from Attendees     How 'Camp Kotok' confab changed Lisa Shaw's outlook on the economy Featuring Lisa McIntire Shaw       August 18, 2014           This week, we're featuring a throwback to 2014. Please enjoy the brief excerpt below and follow the link to read the longer interview at the Charlotte Business Journal.  Cygnus Asset Management co-founder Lisa McIntire Shaw says the discussions with top economists at Camp Kotok has made her more optimistic about the economy.  "I came back with a message of optimism — in the American system and the freedom of capital markets. There’s no place on earth where people with an idea can bring the idea to life like they can here. I have a lot of pride in our markets.  "There is no difference between Wall Street and Main Street because the guy on Main Street can’t have his business if the guys on Wall Street didn’t help fund it, and vice versa. I had this feeling of being proud to do what we do. The average investor barely does better than inflation. As investment professionals, it’s our job not to let that happen."   More at link below:       URL: https://www.bizjournals.com/charlotte/blog/bank_notes/2014/08/how-camp-kotok-confab-changed-lisa-shaws-outlook.html
