Come join me for lunch for the?Mad Hedge Fund Trader?s?Global Strategy luncheon, which I will be conducting in Marrakesh, Morocco on Monday, July 13, 2015. A three-course lunch will be followed by an extended question and answer period.
I?ll be giving you my up to date view on stocks, bonds, currencies, commodities, precious metals, and real estate. And to keep you in suspense, I?ll be tossing a few surprises out there too. Enough charts, tables, graphs, and statistics will be thrown at you to keep your ears ringing for a week. Tickets are available for $277.
I?ll be arriving at 11:30 AM and leaving late in case anyone wants to have a one on one discussion, or just sit around and chew the fat about the financial markets.
The lunch will be held at an exclusive mud walled?riad?in the historic Medina district, an impenetrable maze of ancient souks and alleyways. Believe it or not, you can find this place with your Google mapping app. The precise location will be emailed with your purchase confirmation.
I have been assured that the air conditioning there works, as the temperatures can range up to 135 F degrees during the summer.
Marrakesh is a 1,000-year-old caravan stop on the edge of the Sahara Desert on the storied route to Timbuktu. During the 14th?century, it was the seat of the early Moroccan kings.
It has long been an entrepot for the trading of gold, spices, dates, ivory, guns and slaves. With this trip we will be adding investment advice to that list.
The pink city, just east of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains is one of the most interesting cities in the world, and should be on everyone?s bucket list.
Every evening, snake charmers, magicians and acrobats put on a show for the customers of 100 open-air food stalls at the?Djemaa el-Fna?square. The event is listed as a United Nations World Heritage Site.
Palm oases dot the outside of the town. Today, many of the old shops have been converted to designer boutiques. Berber rugs and leather slippers are sought after items. I have been visiting here since 1968.
Morocco is one of the few Islamic countries that has so far been free of terrorist attacks. However, traffic is down from last year, as are prices, thanks to the ISIS invasion of Iraq. French is widely spoken, so be sure to have the app installed on your iPhone.
If you have extra time, be sure to visit the spectacularly ornate Koutoubia Mosque. Women are required to wear a scarf, and men trousers.
It is not advisable for women to travel alone in North Africa.
Marrakesh can be reached via Royal Air Maroc with a transfer in Casablanca (click here for their site at?http://www.royalairmaroc.com/us-en), which will happily bill your credit card in Euros. Alternatively, you can take a sleeping compartment on the overnight Marrakesh Express from Tangier (yes, it really exists!).
I look forward to meeting you, and thank you for supporting my research.
