Why should I attend?

Over the last decade, the base metal market has undergone an exciting development seen largely due to increased demand from industrializing countries such as China and other developing countries. Today, investment gurus currently agree that, as a whole, investments in these assets are a good play. However, with an uncertain US economy and robust growth in developing international markets the key to positive returns in the future will be the ability to pick winners and relative losers in the metals complex. Simply put, the days when all metals prices rose in harmony (2001-2006) are likely over.

This conference will separate the winners from the losers and enable you – and your organization – to achieve market-beating returns in 2008 and beyond.

Despite the ups and down of the current global economy, investor money flows into base metals have jumped in 2007 as more producers, consumers and hedge funds bet on metal prices. Recently major banks have launched indices that will make it easier for investors to access this increasingly popular asset class. Other developments include the wave of mergers mining companies have undergone. More and more investors realize the opportunities with investing in base metals as a new way to diversifying from stocks and bonds. In fact, once considered a niche investment market, the LME is set to expand in 2008 with new members and more products. The key questions – which will be answered at this conference – is which metals now and why? Finance IQ’s two-day conference on Base Metals Investing will provide you with the “how to” information on investing, trading and ultimately profiting from investments in this sector which has been largely ignored by most investors.
