He also gets a few solicitations to speak or be a panelist at various financial seminars, and quite a number of them don't want to compensate for time & effort. Needless to say, he will decline the invitations.<br /><br />I think it's troubling that many paid & probably for-profit seminars are so shameless as to ask for free service. Somemore it's something related to investments & making money. Just like many financial salesmen from banks & insurance companies, you can tell where their interests lie --- their own pockets.<br /><br />Frankly I doubt if they can get established, successful veteran investors to be panelists at their seminars, if they expect free service. Instead what they will end up getting will be opportunists who will use the event as marketing event to peddle their own services & products. The biggest losers as usual will be the man-in-the-street who attends the seminars & listens to all the soft-sell and hard-sell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
