Michael reading with the Lemurs at Blackpool Zoo, Thursday 10th June 2010
Not so-average primates check out Michael’s book.
Although not renowned for their spelling, these cheeky primates did not take too much encouragement to seek a second investment opinion. According to Wikipedia, Lemurs are just like us in that they use tools and understand basic arithmetic operations. It seems they also appreciate a good read.
The photo was taken at a seminar held at Blackpool Zoo’s Corporate Hospitality Suite. The event started well with a fascinating MAG display presented by Mark Bradshaw and Michael demonstrated how a run of good luck can be misinterpreted as investment skill. One lucky member of the audience won a fine bottle of wine.
The event was a lead up to the official launch of ‘How to Invest Better than the Average Primate’ which takes place in Manchester on the 8th July, although the book is already in its second print run.
The event was a great success thanks to a wonderful audience and of course the appearance of the very sociable Ringtailed Lemurs.
I am a lay person with no previous experience, knowledge or even real interest in investing until I read this book! However, once I opened the front cover, I didn’t put it down until I saw the back cover! It gave me a very clear message; the importance of thinking of my financial future and that even I could plan out, manage and achieve my financial ideal. It is written in clear understandable language and uses anecdotes that the reader can relate to. I have been transformed from a ‘lets live for today’ person to someone who now has a financial plan, with a map to securing a brighter and sustainable future. A must read for everyone who wishes for the same!
