The 32nd year in San Francisco. This show has some of the best minds in the Financial World visiting the City by the Bay. If you missed it and you were wanting answers on how to make your money work for YOU, you will have to wait until next year or go online to www.moneyshow.com and see what other cities that it is going to.
There was many paid for classes and Free classes to help you decide where to put your money to work or how to put it to work. Some you could work yourself and others that manage you money for you and you just look on.
I missed hearing Steve Forbes speak on Thursday the 19th and one of my Favorite people is one of the founders of think-or-swim, Tom Sosnoff. He is very informative by nature. Any time talking to him bring a note pad and write fast, he does share his trading ideas freely with all. As always he does a 3 hour (yes I said 3 hours) talk all about trading on the think or swim platform. Check it out at www.thinkorswim.com , it is free for 14 to 30 days then you have to fund an account, but the trading platform is totally free. You pay for use of the platform by paying per trade that you make. I used it for 2 years as an active trader.
I missed seeing a friend that has been a staple at this show for many years, Edward Dobson who was the owner, writer and operator of the Traders Press. He just recently sold the business to some very nice people. I hope that Edward enjoys what ever comes next in his life.
There were more than 12 oil companies there and almost the same number of trading platforms. What I have used I like, and that would be the Think Or Swim platform, Best Choice Software, and free stocks charts by Worden. These are charting programs that I have used and will use again.
