Reader: Hello Ak, I was at (an investment event) over the weekend and one of the very good speakers from XXX had me sold immediately on the spot. So out of impulse purchase, I've signed up a >$4k worth of investment program on value investing. Now back home and doing abit of research on XXX reviews, its hard for me to further convince myself to further go on the course due to the mix reviews. I know you are one of the most straightforward person on the blogosphere other than xiaxue, and with your knowledge in the investment and finance world, may I know what's your take? I really need your brutal honest advice. You can talk to yourself on this and accidentally reply my email. Thanks! ......
