The Investment U e-Letter: Issue # 409 Investment Seminar: A Must or a Waste?
I bumped into Mark (one of the country’s leading economists) as I was checking into the hotel here at The World Money Show in Orlando. The Money Shows are big business. Thousands of attendees come to this investment seminar to see what must be more than 100 speakers and exhibitors of financial products. Is it worth it to attend an investment seminar? Should you come to a Money Show or some other investment seminar that you receive solicitations for? Well, you might be surprised at my answer The Biggest Benefit of the Investment Seminar: Time with the Bigwigs It wasn’t an accident that Mark Skousen had dinner with Steve Forbes and Newt Gingrich. They’re here at the Money Show, too. Mark always manages to run with the bigwigs. Literally He likes to tell a story about jogging with Bill Clinton. Mark asked Clinton for an autograph. President Clinton agreed, but the only paper Mark had that Bill could sign was a one-dollar bill. “You know this is illegal, don’t you?” Clinton said. And then Bill signed it anyway Ah, Bill. I was running with my own bigwig today Frank Trotter is the CEO of EverBank. Frank and I spent the last three hours together, as our travel schedules bumped into each other. It was good timing, as I’ve been working with EverBank to have them create some new products for my readers, which we should be able to tell you about at our own investment seminar: the 7th Annual Investment University in early March. For me, the very best benefit of attending an investment seminar is getting to meet the bigwigs in our business. Getting to shake hands in person. Getting to see them speak in person. And often, when we find we have similar interests, we’ll go out for a bite.
Another advantage to attending an investment seminar is the sheer number of speakers you get to hear from. There must be over 100 speakers at the Money Show here in Orlando. And our Investment University in Delray Beach now takes us three-and-a-half days to run. The benefit here is, instead of having to figure out who you believe, or who really knows their stuff, you can meet and hear all the “gurus” in one place and decide for yourself who’s worth paying attention to, in just a few days’ time. How to Maximize Your Investment Seminar Benefit for the Lowest Cost Some subscribers appear at most of the investment seminars I go to in a year. You’re free to do that, too, but it’s not the best way to maximize your benefit for the lowest cost. Here’s what I would suggest There are a few major investment seminars that I appear at, along with many other big name investors every year. These include:
One thing is common to all of these you’ll get to hear a ton of speakers for a reasonable fee (generally around $750). By far, the Money Show is the cheapest and the biggest investment seminar, herding speakers and exhibitors past you like cattle. But the nice thing about the other investment seminars is that they have fewer attendees, so you’re closer to the big-name speakers. The speakers often appear at their booths, at book signings, and at cocktail parties, so you have a better chance of saying hello, which is nice. My final suggestions would be:
