I attended the Local Investor forum organised by the CSE and the SEC held today at the Taj (On Golden Pond). It was useful to many lay investors. It was quite hilarious to see many of our senior citizens run and hog the refreshment table immediately on completion of the official work and stack their plates with food leaving none for others. They managed to finish off all the food on the table within a few minutes. Never seen anything like that since I left school! Must have been compensating for the losses incurred in the stock market!

You sure it was only senior citizens? Though this is an Investor forum , I think we should discuss issues related to society which eventually/indirect will reflect on development of the country.


This is just a general observation I have made ( just extending the above) .
So anyone don't get your pant--s in a bunch now. If you don't agree it is fine.

When I look at certain foreign countries and general workers attitudes ( example supermarket cashiers to customer service) , the courteousness, the happiness , the commitment for their jobs clearly shows. Most people smile, greet and are pleasant to talk to. In most SE Asian countries ( including Sri Lanka), people at work are moody, smile-less and appears they are doing the their job to the minimum becasue they have to . Most appears they don;t enjoy/appreciate what they are doing.

I can think of several reason why this happens. But will not go into details. These issues have to address at the employer level as well as individual attitude level ( maybe starting at schools). Oh I forgot also at political level.

I have not given up hope for a more happier society in Sri Lanka which would lead to faster development of the country. The example given here another side of the same situtation.

It might take several more generation to achieve, but it need to gradually happen if we are to achieve real development.


Btw, Patchchasira,

Would be good if you cab share the topics discussed at the Investor forum?

Even in many Asian countries where business related forums are conducted you can see many (irrespective of age levels) exchange views of business topics anxiously while introducing themselves each other at interval times. It is a sort of opportunity to establish links with executives who participated from different part of the regions or to be knowledge sharing base within a limited time period. It is funny to notice that absorbing fatty things keeping away the business ladder.

In short the presentation was educational rather than technical. It focused on the investor activities over a period of time and advice on how to invest. Basically buy in bad times and sell in good times. Importance of not being too greedy and exiting when your target price is met. The argument was backed up by trading statistics showing foreign buying & selling data during 2009 – 2010 and buying & selling statistics during 2011. Presentations also focused on Macroeconomic factors including GDP growth and external factors impacting the local economy. The importance of managing your investment portfolio at different times also when to shift from equities to fixed income securities and vice versa in what proportions using charts (it was informed that the detailed presentation will be uploaded to the CSE web site soon).How to identify overvalued and undervalued stocks etc. How the market reached 25 times the PE in 2011 etc. The presentation also included advice on using credit to finance your investment and how much exposure you should have to it. It was also highlighted the research work being done by the CSE itself for the benefit of the investors and of the 10 reports currently available on the CSE web site.
There was also a lively Q&A session with some investors pointing fingers at some brokers for not being well informed, the CSE, Mafia controlling the market how money is being siphoned away from equities etc.

The main presentation was focused what happened 2009 to 2011, What went wrong and what not to do again. The ABC's of wealth management. The topic was Potential Value of Stockmarket, The presentation was something else. They started late, there was no explanation whatsoever about what the forum was about, the main speaker went over time out of topic, the panel didn't discuss and the questions time became a farce with a few people holding the floor while the moderator looked spaced out ,people were gesturing for him to moderate and the guy seated next to him was prodding him , but he was unmoved , spellbound by an old time investor having blast slamming them, then they made the fatal mistake of allowing KC Vignarajah (god bless his soul) to get on stage and take the podium and as to be expected Vigna started going to town on his favorite topics and finally had to be stopped almost by force, by then no more time for more questions and some asked earlier unanswered. The climax was the rush for the refreshments, yes it was mainly the senior citizens who were the majority who led the charge, 80 per cent of the participants zeroed in on that table and attacked it from all sides, it was carnage, within minutes there wasn't a scrap of food left. The CSE hadn't worked out the demand/supply factor. I managed to get a fish sandwich when they sent in a late plate, it was wiped out before the waiter could put it on the table. That my friends was the highlight of the day. Waste of a precious Saturday morning.

So to sum up the whole evening, that the free food attracted the senior investors who have amply demonstrated that the age has not diminished their voracious appetite for (free) food and also that they are still capable of outperforming the younger investors.  Very Happy 
Bravo.  Smile

In early 90's I worked for a listed company and can remember they used to distribute excess food amongst the staff after the AGM. May be now the situation has changed.

So far I have never been able to attend to any AGM. Most of the time they are around 20-30 in the month which I'm so busy with salary matters and month end work.

Don't worry just like KAPI they will also publish an errata notice, but with the CSE it will take about 2-3 years
