In the first event of the Gabelli Center for Global Security Analysis Financial Issues Forum, Paul Johnson and Paul Sonkin will be talking about their new book, The Enduring Value of Roger Murray, published by Columbia Business School Press.

Roger Murray (1911–1998) was a crucial figure in the history of value investing as the successor to the legendary Benjamin Graham as professor of securities analysis at Columbia Business School, where he mentored a generation of students. He also was a renowned economist, chairman of the College Retirement Equity Fund Finance Committee, a prolific author of financial journal articles and a thought leader in the development of pension funds, including the individual retirement account.

The event will feature panel style participation by Mario Gabelli, chairman and CEO, GAMCO Investors, and Leon Cooperman, founder, Omega Family Office, followed by a book signing afterward with free books distributed to all attendees.
