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

Building a Portfolio for Long-Term Growth
with Dividend-Paying Stocks
Wednesday, May 17 • 8:00 am – 10:00 am
Yes, growth and dividends are
not natural enemies. In today’s
investment world, even rapidly expanding
technology
companies sometimes pay
dividends. And although interest
rates have been on a rising trend,
they remain at historic lows,
providing investors with few
options for income.
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.
