Join Bell Direct’s head media presenter and SKY News, SKY Business Channel, Bloomberg and ABC radio’s well respected commentator Julia Lee to find out if now is the time to be buying shares and/or what stocks would be best suited to the current environment.

11.30am Lessons from the last bull market Colin Nicholson
Building Wealth Through Shares FREE

SATURDAY 1ST JUNE ONLY
Colin did not suffer any significant loss in his capital in the 2007-2009 bear market that is better known as the Global Financial Crisis and has since grown his capital beyond the 2007 peak in the stock market. He will show the signs that he published well in advance that the 2003-2007 bull market was close to its end.

It’s true - every bull market sees some big companies fail completely. But it is possible not to be caught in these stocks that "crash and burn" taking all of our savings with them. Join author and teacher of technical analysis based investing, Colin Nicholson as he shows several examples of how it is possible.

Building Wealth Through Shares FREE

SUNDAY 2ND JUNE ONLY

Colin has developed seven key things that he looks for in a stock before buying it, giving a margin of safety and the opportunity to produce significant dividend yield and capital gain. Keys that he’ll share with you.

1.30pm How to create wealth through timing the market Alan Hull
ActVest FREE

Real wealth is created from timing the markets and Alan is going to show you exactly how to do it.

There is a time to buy shares, there’s a time to sell shares, there’s a time to hedge your portfolio and there’s even a time to buy gold bullion. The skill is to know which tactic to apply at what time.

Alan will outline how to effectively implement this strategy in this highly informative and often entertaining free presentation.

Getting your finances in shape for the new financial year Noel Whittaker
News Ltd Commentator FREE

It is just three months to the federal election and Australia is still suffering deficit budgets. To make matters worse, we’ve been plagued by constant changes to superannuation which has created a climate of uncertainty as many of the proposals will be tossed aside if the Coalition gains office in September.

Despite the uncertainty, the fundamentals are unchanged. In this informative free session, best-selling author and commentator Noel Whittaker will explain what you need to do to make sure your finances are in good shape for what is bound to be another exciting, yet challenging year ahead.

Trading truths Brent Penfold
IndexTrader $20

So you’d like to become a successful trader working from home, earning a fair income for your fair effort? Is this possible? Yes, it certainly is. However the more important question to ask is whether it is possible for you, and unfortunately the probable answer is no.

In this Workshop professional trader Brent Penfold will tell you how it is. Brent will reveal where the true nuggets of wisdom in successful trading exist. You’ll learn the answers are not contained in any glossy brochure, not in any impressive charting program, nor on any psychologist’s couch. You’ll learn success in trading is not defined by a perfect entry or exit technique or perfect trading strategy … no … the truths are far simpler than that.

This is a must attend Workshop for all - whether you’re new to the markets or experienced, you will gain from knowing exactly how steep the climb is to successful trading. A climb that many may decide is too steep to contemplate, while for those willing to commit, a climb worth enduring to enjoy the rich rewards that come with reaching the summit.

How to select safe stocks that are most likely to outperform the market Colin Nicholson
Building Wealth Through Shares $20

SUNDAY 2ND JUNE ONLY
For most people, selecting stocks seems like a lottery as on all sides, experts give often contradictory advice. Moreover, most inexperienced investors find analysing the accounts of a company to be intimidating, confusing and almost like a mystic art.

Colin Nicholson has been selecting stocks for 45 years and has developed a method that is simple to understand and requires only basic accounting concepts.

He will show you how you can find and assess stocks that provide a margin of safety, while having the potential to outperform the market by providing a growing stream of dividends and growth in capital.

The next 30 years is going to be a lot different to the past and this session will empower you with realistic expectations, a new mindset and a template for your own investing/trading strategy. Marcus will also discuss the various techniques you will need to survive the highs and lows of “The New” stock and property markets.

Trading psychology - mastering yourself first Alan Hull
ActVest $20

The biggest obstacle we all face when trading financial markets is ourselves. We hold on to losing positions when we should sell them and we sell winning positions when we should hold them.

The reason for this is because our basic instincts are designed to protect us from being eaten by saber tooth tigers, not make us successful traders.

So if we want to consistently take profits from the markets then we need to recognise these internal obstacles and learn to overcome them. And that’s exactly what you’re going to do in this brand new 1 hour Workshop with Alan where you’ll discover that mastering the markets means mastering yourself first.

3.30pm
Room 2
Finding money in the market with Fibonacci Jody Ellis
Investor Centre $20

SATURDAY 1ST JUNE ONLY
Fibonacci lived in the 13th century but his universal ratios have been found in everything from the design of the pyramids to the patterns of Galaxies. We are even designed with Fibonacci ratios. So it’s no wonder we see Fibonacci in our markets – a uniquely artificial structure that emulates our behaviour.

Jody Elliss, one of Australia’s lead analysts, reveals the secrets of Fibonacci in our current markets during this 1 hour Workshop. He’ll explain how he uses Fibonacci to make money from the market and finish with his forecast for 2013/2014 using Fibonacci techniques. This is a unique opportunity not to be missed!

3.30pm
Room 2
Computerised auto trading systems Jody Ellis
Investor Centre $20

SUNDAY 2ND JUNE ONLY
In today’s fast moving world of finance and advancing technologies, computerised trading is no longer limited to high dollar professionals. The move towards shorter time frames is a result of high volatility and uncertain times but it begets higher volatility. Computer trading is in essence – volatility trading. Risk is limited by fast-acting stop losses and rewards are high where a market moves in a sustained direction.

However, computer trading does not conform to the old laws of risk and reward for performance. It requires high frequency, computer algorithms that seek opportunities in the market pace and act on them automatically, on the traders behalf. They work on unusual laws of accuracy versus frequency of trade, where they may make a number of small losing trades and be balanced by a single large winning trade, bending the need for high accuracy in trading.

In this 1 hour Workshop, Jody Elliss - one of Australia’s leading Market Analysts will run through some of the requirements and foundations for computerised trading. He will also supply a number of working computerised systems that can be deployed by the average person with minimal cost. This is a must for anyone who is interested in computerised or high frequency trading and uses technology currently available to Australian Traders to make money on a regular basis in the market.

JDL Strategies FREE

Add 20 to 50% per annum to your investment portfolio Jody Ellis
Investor Centre FREE

SATURDAY 1ST JUNE ONLY
Stocks spend the majority of the year in a passive mode with short spurts of uptrend. In the mean time they stand exposed to an unstable market in uncertain times. CFD’s offer an excellent point of insurance where losses tend towards 0 and significant profits can be made on stocks throughout the year.

In this Exhibitor Seminar, using simple to follow profiling techniques, Jody Elliss, one of Australia’s leading analysts and traders will show how to defend your portfolio against uncertain times and add significantly to your worth and income for the year – a critical aim for anyone who holds stocks in the market.

Jody Elliss, one of Australia’s leading analysts, will explain “Behavioural Mechanics” that shape the outcomes of the top 200 Index. Some of these behaviours can be predicted weeks or even months in advance. Jody will include three (3) trades that have a better than 90% consistency for the last 30 years.

If you are interested in day trading – or even repetitive market patterns, this exhibitor Seminar is not to be missed.

3.15pm
A new way to invest in property – development profits through crowd-funding Marc & Anthony
SMSF Property FREE

Since the borrowing rules for self-managed super funds (SMSF) changed in 2007, an increasing number of funds have started to purchase direct property. However there is a new way to consider property investment, as a manufacturing model; one of our investors recently termed this an “active passive” investment.

We will explore the property investment options for SMSF, and discuss why the legacy model of investing is broken.

Marc and Anthony will also explain why there is so much profit in property development since the GFC, why having no debt in a property development substantially reduces the risk and how the internet is making it easier for investors to make profits previously only available to developers.

4.00pm
