Well, that’s it.
The big day is almost here.
We’ve submitted our PowerPoint presentation.
All we need to do now is summon up the gumption to stand up in front of over 400 people and talk.
Oh, and we actually need to finish writing our speech…otherwise things could get awkward…
Next Monday is the World War D conference here in Melbourne.
Your editor is due to speak before lunch on the first day.
We’ll be honest, we don’t like public speaking. It’s not our forte. Given the choice we’d rather sit behind our desk and slowly form thoughts in our mind to relay to you each morning.
But we get why it’s necessary to do these things. So we’ll do it. And we’ll try not to offend too many people.
Incidentally, if you couldn’t get time off to get to Melbourne, there’s some good news. We’ve hired some pro video guys to record the event. So if you can’t make it but you’d like to tune in to what goes on, check out the full details here. Buy before 1st April and you’ll get a 25% discount off the cover price too.
All the highlights from the best two days of the year
All this means there will be a format change to Money Morning next week.
In the interests of giving you the low down on each and every speaker who presents next week, we’re handing the reigns of Money Morning over to roving reporters Shae Smith and Callum Denness.
They’ll report live from the conference floor at the Grand Hyatt detailing the highlights (and hopefully not many lowlights) from each presentation.
Obviously, with so many world-class speakers on show for two days next week we couldn’t do their presentations justice if we tried to cram everything into Monday and Tuesday.
If you want to hear and see the biggest and best contrarian investment conference this year, then this is it. We expect cheers, gasps, and even a few boos.
So we’ll share the highlights with you throughout the week.
And of course, as soon as the conference wraps up the video production crew will begin cutting the footage in order to get the DVD of the event out as soon as possible. Remember that you can secure a 25% discount here right now .
Ranting, raving…and practical advice
So, what do we plan on banging on about?
Well, part of the performance will include stressing some of the topics we’ve covered in Money Morning during the past few months.
That is, the idea that irrelevant events have distracted markets and investors. We’ll explain that the distractions are bad enough, especially when they turn out to be far less serious than initially claimed.
But we’ll also explain that that isn’t the half of it.
What makes things worse is the fact that these distractions have scared investors from buying stocks when they were trading at dirt-cheap valuations. Even today, although we can’t claim stocks are super cheap, it’s fair to say that if company earnings can grow then current valuations are justified.
After that, then we’ll attack the usual suspects. We won’t reveal whom yet. You’ll find that out next week when Shae and Callum report. And if you pre-order the video of the event you’ll be able to watch your editor in full-bore attack mode.
Finally, we’ll finish off with the practical advice. After all, it’s OK to listen to someone rant and rave, but it’s much better if they rant and rave while giving you useful information on how to make or save money.
That’s what we plan to do.
Whether we do that successfully or not, you’ll have to wait to see.
If you can’t be there, be there online
In the meantime, what will it mean for our analysis of the markets each day?
Remember to check out our Google+ page throughout the day on Monday and Tuesday. Whenever we’re not on stage or interviewing some of the other speakers, we’ll post comments on the action to Google+.
If you haven’t joined Google+ we recommend it. It’s the only social networking service we personally use. So make sure to check it out.
We’ll also reveal the single best, most useful, and practical piece of investment advice in the Premium Notes section for Money Morning Premium subscribers.
Look out for a special invitation to become a Premium subscriber in your inbox today. (Note: not every Money Morning subscriber will receive this invitation. If you don’t receive an invitation this time, don’t feel left out, your turn will come. Just keep your eyes peeled in the coming weeks.)
So, that’s it. Normal Money Morning service will resume after next week.
We hope you’ll enjoy next week’s editions of Money Morning. It will be different, but just as good.
See you on Monday.
Cheers,
Kris+
