Like Manoj put it – “There are some things in life, which get “richer” as they age” – and knowledge be it Financial or otherwise is acquired over a lifetime.

Yes, I for one did receive the invite – no excuses offered – and simply put it as an opportunity lost at hearing smart people who must have shared their experiences and views about equity markets, which must have benefited all those who did take the trouble of hearing them out.

Look forward to your posts, conveying some bits of what was said at this ‘investment show’.

You know, I met some people who had come from Hyderabad, Surat, Delhi, Indore, Goa, Pune and many other cities ‘only to attend this event’. I felt so happy to look at their enthusiasm and quest for learning. And I felt sad for over 99.9% of our very own Mumbaikars who would benefit from such an event but didn’t join. These are the ones who will complain, criticise others when markets fall, but won’t invest some time on a weekend for their own learning. So if such people are mis-sold a financial product because they don’t care to understand what they are buying and, as you always say just ask “sign kidhar karna hai…” then I guess they get what they deserve.

People have strange thinking patterns. After I conducted my session on financial planning, I was trying to get into other sessions to hear what other speakers have to say. An acquaintance of mine – lets call him Mr X -who also happened to be at the event told me “arrey you should not go into other people’s session, you are yourself an expert, your image will get spoilt.” How cheap! I told him that first of all I am not an expert (I have started hating this term because most media people misuse it). I am a learner. I am a communicator. I share what I know with others and will be as curious as a child to keep learning till my last breath. But this Mr X’s attitude told me why some other analysts, fund managers etc. may not have come to be a part of this event.

Any ways, I am glad that IRIS takes such an initiative and whoever comes to the event, goes back richer in knowledge.

I attended, though i was not on the invitation list, and surely the other 150 plus who were there..were also perhaps not on that list! But i would like to sincerely say that i was lucky to be there, and would surely come again!

There are some things in life, which get “richer” as they age, or get repeated. Financial advice and wisdom is one such thing (apart from wine as they say!). The more you reinforce it, the more you test it in real time & everytime, the more benefit and wisdom you add to yourself. And listing to a “guru” on this, well no subsitute for that!

People often say, there is never a free lunch! So when one is really offered, they tend to miss it!
