It&#8217;s not our forte. Given the choice  we&#8217;d rather sit behind our desk and slowly form thoughts in our mind to relay  to you each morning.<\/p>\n<p>But we get  why it&#8217;s necessary to do these things. So we&#8217;ll do it. And we&#8217;ll try not to  offend too many people.<\/p>\n<p>Incidentally,  if you couldn&#8217;t get time off to get to Melbourne, there&#8217;s some good news. We&#8217;ve  hired some pro video guys to record the event. So if you can&#8217;t make it but  you&#8217;d like to tune in to what  goes  on, <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/ift.tt\/1pf2SVt\" target=\"_blank\">check out the full details here.<\/a> Buy before 1st April and you&#8217;ll get a <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/ift.tt\/1pf2SVt\" target=\"_blank\">25% discount  off the cover price too<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<h2><strong>All the  highlights  from the  best  two   days  of the  year<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>All this  means there will be a format change to <em>Money  Morning<\/em> next week.<\/p>\n<p>In the  interests of giving you the low down  on each and every speaker who presents next week, we&#8217;re handing the reigns of <em>Money Morning<\/em> over to roving reporters  Shae Smith and Callum Denness.<\/p>\n<p>They&#8217;ll  report live from the conference floor at the Grand Hyatt detailing the  highlights (and hopefully not many lowlights) from each presentation.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously,  with so many world-class speakers on show for two days next week we couldn&#8217;t do  their presentations justice if we tried to cram everything into Monday and  Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>If you want  to hear and see the biggest and best <a href=\"http:\/\/ift.tt\/V6n2lJ\" title=\"More on investment\">contrarian investment<\/a> conference this  year, then this is it. We expect cheers, gasps, and even a few boos.<\/p>\n<p>So we&#8217;ll  share the highlights with you throughout the week.<\/p>\n<p>And of  course, as soon as the conference wraps up the video production crew will begin  cutting the footage in order to get the DVD of the event out as soon as possible.  Remember that you can <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/ift.tt\/1pf2SVt\" target=\"_blank\">secure a 25% discount here right now&nbsp;<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<h2><strong>Ranting,  raving&#8230;and   practical   advice<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>So, what do  we plan on banging on about?<\/p>\n<p>Well, part  of the performance will include stressing some of the topics we&#8217;ve covered in <em>Money Morning<\/em> during the past few  months.<\/p>\n<p>That is, the  idea that irrelevant events have distracted <a href=\"http:\/\/ift.tt\/Wowvaj\" title=\"More on financial markets from the Daily Reckoning\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>markets and investors<\/strong><\/a>. We&#8217;ll  explain that the distractions are bad enough, especially when they turn out to  be far less serious than initially claimed.<\/p>\n<p>But we&#8217;ll  also explain that that isn&#8217;t the half of it.<\/p>\n<p>What makes  things worse is the fact that these distractions have scared investors from  <a href=\"http:\/\/ift.tt\/XcVQUb\" title=\"How to but stocks\">buying stocks<\/a> when they were trading at dirt-cheap valuations. Even today,  although we can&#8217;t claim stocks are super cheap, it&#8217;s fair to say that if  company earnings can grow then current valuations are justified.<\/p>\n<p>After that,  then we&#8217;ll attack the usual suspects. We won&#8217;t reveal whom yet. You&#8217;ll find that  out  next week when Shae and Callum  report. And if you <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/ift.tt\/1pf2SVt\" target=\"_blank\">pre-order the video of the event<\/a> you&#8217;ll  be able to watch your editor in full-bore attack mode.<\/p>\n<p>Finally,  we&#8217;ll finish off with the practical advice. After all, it&#8217;s OK to listen to  someone rant and rave, but it&#8217;s much better if they rant and rave while giving  you useful information on <a href=\"http:\/\/ift.tt\/Vo6C9r\" title=\"More on how to invest\">how to make or save money.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what  we plan to do.<\/p>\n<p>Whether we  do that successfully or not, you&#8217;ll have to wait to see.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">\n<h2><strong>If  you   can&#8217;t  be  there,  be  there  online<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>In the  meantime, what will it mean for our analysis of the markets each day?<\/p>\n<p>Remember to  check out our <a href=\"http:\/\/ift.tt\/1pf2VQW\" target=\"_blank\">Google+ page<\/a> throughout the day on Monday and  Tuesday. Whenever we&#8217;re not on stage or interviewing some of the other  speakers, we&#8217;ll post comments on the action to Google+.<\/p>\n<p>If you  haven&#8217;t joined Google+ we recommend it.
