Emeritus finance professor Jeremy Siegel joined Wharton Dean Erika James to deliver his iconic breakdown of the stock market at Gotham Hall in New York City on February 21, 2024. Siegel brought the crowd of more than 500 Wharton alumni and friends back to the classroom for just one night.

Siegel, the Russell E. Palmer Professor Emeritus of Finance, a bestselling author, and an acclaimed authority on financial markets, delivered a lesson about investing — using stocks from one day prior projected on the screen behind him.

“I wanted to use stocks from today, but they told me it was too late,” Siegel, famous for teaching about the market real-time, laughed with attendees.

“Stocks are real assets. They’re claims on capital, land, factories, equipment, patents, copyrights, and intellectual property. All of those are real assets,” Siegel said. “Real assets will appreciate with inflation.”
