The seminar will probably be the first of its kind in the country. Several people have already expressed interest in attending it. I am looking forward to it, as it will be my first time to speak on this subject as well. I plan to take the seminar to other parts of PNG throughout 2009 and beyond.

The material I will be presenting is contained in my upcoming book titled "Stock Market Basics: An Introduction To Stock Market Investing For Beginners In Papua New Guinea." This book will be on the market in 2009.
