I find it interesting to go to so called investment dinners.

Almost always their main focus is selling annuities and will downplay the historical performance of both individual stocks, indexes like S & P or outright lie and say the average cost of a no load fund is about 4% annually.

Do learn a little something most of the time and have a very nice dinner in one of the better restaurants in the bubble.

Amazing that I will be the one to ask the presenter is educational background and work history and have to literally cross examine him/her to get this info.
