Q: Hello,

I looked at the presenters for the money show for Sept. 2024.

I saw pretty women and men flogging their stuff.

As a value investor, is it worth my time (I'm 65 and will be dead in 10 years) to attend this event so I can make better decisions now, so my wife can be more financially secure when I am no longer around?
Assuming we have the same ruling party beyond 2025.
I don't mean to be blunt - but facts are facts.
BTW - my portfolio has made more ($55k) in the past month than in the past 4 yrs. This is directly attributable to my knowledge gained from this 5i Q&A blog.

Thank you and keep up the good work.
