Financial Investor seminars, or sales pitches?

When/if attending so called Financial Investor seminars.

When attending so called financial seminars do these explain or at least touch on the often smaller cap. stocks investor advantage individuals can have?  Do they explain or at least touch on the often inept or outright conflict of interest many brokers/marketing officers may have towards retail investors?  Do they empower you, as seen from your investment interest;  or are they just gearing up toward selling you some new investor product?  These should be among the real tests on viability, credibility and objective validity of so called flourishing investor conferences...,yet too often turned into a sales pitch in disguise.

More real reforms need to take place on the Thai SET, by regulators and its brokers.

Thaistocks.com has always been about rational & value investing -since its inception in 1997.   For 3 years, I here stated to be overall Thai stocks' bearish -due to the Thai economy slowing, lack of  SET/Broker real reforms & excess mkt. speculation -not least uninspiring politics. 
Yet, I here identify stock picks to members on quality companies with very high dividends, often 7%.   With my life-long multicultural background and 40+ years of professional investor experience I here since 1997, post regular added added value unbiased comments.   (See latest articles below).     

I've been analyzing Thai stocks, full time, for over 3 decades... here we have the highest so called "yield gap" anywhere along with a very firm Baht currency.  Meaning, inflation is 0% (the world's lowest) while Thai banks barely pay 0.3% interest on Bank savings accounts.  Yet, if you get beyond institutional obsession with liquidity one can find -even growing Thai listed quality companies- which yield 6-8% in tax favored dividends while trading at very low often single digit p/e ratio's

But you would never know about this reading conventional biz news.  A stock or country where the news is poor or unfavorable, but now getting less so can in fact be a good investment. This is how I see things now going...
