Worry Free Investing Welcome to Worry Free Investing. My name is Cathy O’Nan and I am the Manager of Internal Training at VectorVest. I’m happy to be here to talk about a subject that is so important. Worry Free Investing. My background is banking. I was a banker for 20 years. I have a Graduate Degree in Bank Management and I also hold the CFP designation. You can guess from those two areas of study that I am a conservative gal. At VV we understand how important it is to have investments that let you sleep at night.
