"Archie M. Richards, Jr. is an exceptionally engaging speaker. His presentation of "Better Investments with Less Worry" was both timely and informative. Archie is willing to take a stand and defend it as he draws the audience to his side with facts and humor. Archie takes the time to explain the theory behind his statements but he does so in a manner that is non-threatening to the audience. Archie stresses that anyone can understand and succeed at investing. The presentation focuses on the index investing and includes ready to use strategies and realistic goals for the audience. The audience leaves the lecture feeling like they learned something while having a great time. Archie's dynamic, non-sales style was a success for my program."

"The presentation by Archie Richards on investing and finance took the sometimes dry subject and turned it into interest, humorous and VERY useful information! He speaks the way he writes his column - understandable, with a common sense approach that's easy and fun."

Ray Johnson, Independent Business Owner:

"After years of unsuccessful investing, my wife and I began following the wonderful advice of Archie Richards, which is provided in his nationally-syndicated newspaper articles. Honest, straightforward, and wise, his columns have taught us patience and understanding about our investing. After a couple of years of reading his work, it was a thrill to hear Archie in person. He speaks as he writes, sharing his vast experience in a way that touches the emotions as well as the intellect."

Dale Buckner, MBA, CFP^®, and radio talk show host, Amarillo, Texas:

"Captivating! Right from the start, Archie had the audience in the palm of his hand!"

Jim Cates, radio talk show host, Topeka, Kansas:

"He's prepared. He's knowledgeable. He's entertaining. A recommended guest!"

"The description of bonds in his book is the best I've ever read."

Chance Clutter, Boston radio talk show producer:

"It was a spicy little interview. We enjoyed it."

Don Vallera, Retired Investor (concerning Archie's weekly newspaper columns):

"I read your columns faithfully and learn something new every week. I've learned a lot about how to preserve my capital. You've helped me become a more patient investor. Many of those I've listened to about investing over the years have had personal agendas that helped them more than me. What's most important about your column is your candid objectivity. I consider you a mentor and hope you'll continue sharing your experience."
