The annual Trading & Investing Seminars & Expo held Friday 29 October and Saturday 30 October is Australia’s largest investor education event, with more than 80 exhibitors. Over 60 investment experts will be speaking at daily seminars on everything from shares, super and property to resources, foreign exchange and the global markets, to a dedicated seminar stream in Mandarin Chinese and a Workshop for Women dedicated to educating female investors of all levels. Stockbrokers, financial advisers, trading experts, technical chartists and representatives from groups such as the Australian Investors Association, Australian Shareholders Association, Australian Technical Analysts Association and the Australian Taxation Office will be present. The educational program will focus on how to counter the many concerns investors have today including how to hedge against another market crash, identify smaller hot stocks and trade currencies. Michael McCarthy, head of dealing at City Index, says there has been a fundamental change in markets in the past months and traders need to change their approach accordingly. "Some of the extreme market volatilities that we’ve seen recently mean that traders and investors should put risk management on top of their priorities to protect their investment."
