An absolute must for serious investors

Are Britain's banks still bust? Are we heading for inflation or deflation? When will the gold bull market be over? All of these questions were addressed at MoneyWeek's conference last week – Bengt Saelensminde walks you through his favourite bits.

I was in the middle of typing up my intended topic for today: Why now is the time for investment in antiques. It was looking like an interesting piece. But then I started listening to something I downloaded over the weekend. And I was simply transfixed. For the best part of five hours, I simply sat there and listened. I was immediately compelled to change tack and tell you all about it.

Now I warn you, today's Right Side is a fair bit longer than normal. But there's a lot to say and you'll see exactly why in a second.

Bengt graduated from Reading University in 1994 and followed up with a master's degree in business economics.

 

He started stock market investing at the age of 13, and this eventually led to a job in the City of London in 1995. He started on a bond desk at Cantor Fitzgerald and ended up running a desk at stockbroker's Cazenove.

 

Bengt left the City in 2000 to start up his own import and beauty products business which he still runs today.
