RM92 S Dali's talk on Career in Financial Markets

Dali is one of the few bloggers who talks deep in finance market, mainly on stock investment topics. His blog is branded as always have a beautiful girl at the very front, hence some haters called him "ham sap lou". I was once very tempted to follow his path but soon realize his methods are not really a repeatable success but merely good opionions.

I don't know him personally other than just his blog reader. My varies attempt to get in touch only ends with despairation. I guess I am indeed a much "lower level" person that he doesn't want to waste his time on.

Finance is a big complicated topic, Personal Finance on the other hand is really simple where the dumpest guy on the world can easily get 'everything' he wants. The 2 topics are hugely different.

Anyway, the reason I blog about Dali now is that he is organizing a talk. Suposingly an interesting one. He has many followers and fans including international fund managers. I personally pay close attention to all the stocks he has his eyes on. Although almost everytime my analysis diagree with his choices but it just mean that his choices are not suitable for passive stock investors. But then again, active investors who take more risk can earn so much more especially when done right, ie. like his followers ?

Anyway, to sum all up. I still think it is a good thing he is sharing his thoughts in public speaking. I am sure a lot of people already know this event. But just in case you don't know Dali yet, here is a chance. Especially if you are interested to invest in stocks more than just Personal Finance, ie. to make it an Active Income or a lot of incomes. I think this talk may be good for you.

I was planning to go but the RM92 put me off. My feeling is that he has planned this talk for the students. Looking through his topics, there is only one that I am interested in "things not taught in bussiness classes". All others may just end with a neither nor conclusion.

If you are going, please help me ask this question,

"The fact that you quit as a fund manager,

does that mean you couldn't cope with the work

or is the environment limiting you from exercising your investment strategies?"

If any of you did go, please do comment here.
