Two-Hour Intensive Sessions (Group A)
These two-hour presentations on specific investment and trading topics, including growth stock, biotech, and trading strategy allow the experts to cover topics in greater detail than the regular 45-minute workshops…giving you more time to take notes and ask your own personal questions.


Energy—An All-Weather Investment
Tuesday, May 16 • 4:45 pm – 6:45 pm

Energy is the most-talked about industry in the country—no, in the world, today. Come to this workshop and you will have a unique opportunity to learn all about investing in energy—and its future— from an insider’s point of view. The session provides a rare chance to study with a renowned expert—Phil McPherson, director of research at C.K. Cooper & Co.—who has been recognized by Zacks as a five-star analyst for his investment recommendations.

He will discuss current trends and their effect on energy investing:
• The price of oil—now at more than $60 a barrel—continues to accelerate
• Energy consumption is slated to grow 36%, to 133.2 quadrillion BTUs by the year 2025, but fuel efficiency is also expected to improve exponentially
• The disruption of oil flow from two devastating hurricanes and the increasing storage costs of natural gas are prompting industry pros to forecast natural gas bills averaging 50% higher this summer
• The expansion of the alternative fuels segment is boosting the proliferation of advanced technology vehicles. Hybrid electric units and turbo direct injection diesel vehicles are both expected to grow to more than one million units by 2025.
• Energy stocks have gained an average 40% last year, leaving investors wondering if the boom is over.

Join Phil McPherson and find out which firms and sectors have already peaked. Discover which energy related areas are poised to benefit from ongoing as well as future trends. And uncover those companies still undervalued but ready to take off.

The Promise of Biotech’s Coming Breakthroughs
Wednesday, May 17 • 10:30 am – 12:30 pm


Although the biotech industry was swept up in the tech boom and bust of 2000, exciting developments are on the horizon, which will create tremendous investment opportunities over the next 10-15 years. 393 biotech companies went public from 1990 to 2004 and biotech IPOs posted an average 17% increase in share price. The FDA approved 38 new biotech and biotech-related products and therapies in 2005, and representing a step toward the promise of personalized medicine, the FDA approved the first drug based on its performance in a specific race: NitroMed’s BiDil, approved in June 2005, as a heart failure treatment for African Americans. In the last decade, market capitalization has increased from $45 billion to $399 billion.

Factors that will continue to boost biotech development and spending include:
• The aging baby boomer generation, the world’s richest, already consume 75% of all pharmaceuticals
• Longer life expectancies will result in greater drug use
• The increased reliance on drugs versus expensive hospital stays
• Increased demand for specific large markets: obesity, memory/Alzheimer’s, chronic diseases, antibiotic resistance, cancers, and other age-related diseases

Join Michael Shulman, editor, ChangeWave Biotech Investor, for this eye-opening session and find out which areas are poised for the next bullish run and which to avoid.

“Prudent” Stock Selection & Analysis
Wednesday, May 17 • 4:45 pm – 6:45 pm


There are no perfect approaches or foolproof formula for investing in stocks, a fact investors can easily accept. Nonetheless, successful stock selections come by systematically analyzing corporate financial fundamentals as well as evaluating valuations.

John Buckingham, editor of the top-performing Prudent Speculator, actively follows more than 1,100 stocks for money-management clients and newsletter subscribers and is manager of The Al Frank Fund and the Al Frank Dividend Value Fund. In the first hour of this session, he will share his stock selection process, which has given his subscribers a whopping 20.75% annualized return for over 28 years, and an unmatched Hulbert Financial Digest rating as #1 newsletter for the past ten, 15, and 25 years (through November 2005).

A few weeks before this session, you will be asked to submit one favorite stock, and depending on how many different stocks are submitted, John Buckingham will pick the most popular selections to analyze in class— step by step—to come up with a buy, sell, or hold recommendation and the reasoning behind the decision.

Building a Portfolio for Long-Term Growth with Dividend-Paying Stocks
Wednesday, May 17 • 8:00 am – 10:00 am

Kelley Wright, editor of Investment Quality Trends, is an old-hand at ferreting out equities with a subtle balance of income and appreciation. He’ll share his ideas for targeting well-run companies who are gaining market share by innovation, yet are returning part of their profits to their shareholders in the form of dividends.
