Man who teaches young adults to become stock market millionaires to speak at [INSERT LOCATION HERE]  

Sydney Tremayne says it took many of the 55 years he has been associated with investments professionally and privately to learn how to become a wealthy investor. Now he teaches young people that almost anyone can become a millionaire on the pocket change they waste.

"It is virtually certain if they follow a few simple and easy rules, rules I wish I had heard about in my youth. Life could have been very different."

The author of two best selling books, one in Canada and one in the U.S., says the mess he made of his first effort is why he is on a mission to teach young people the simple rules of investing and of finding the money with which to do it.

He will be at [place] in [Community] at [time and date] to speak to [organization]. The title of his talk: Common Investment Beliefs That Prevent You from Easily Becoming a Millionaire.

Tremayne's first investment adventure was almost comical. He asked a bank manager for advice not knowing that most bank managers know nothing about investments. After one month of watching an obscure South African gold mine rise one penny one day and fall by the same amount the next day, while he was spending much more than that on newspapers to follow the stock, he admitted defeat and sold.

"I knew nothing at all about what I was doing, but that started a lifetime of trial, error and learning."

He eventually designed a computer program that a number of stock brokerage firms were interested in. Six of them offered Tremayne a job. He says he chose the smallest of the firms because they made space for his staff and bank of computers. Later, he was the founding shareholder in another firm.

Tremayne's talk is unique and he spills many secrets the investment industry would rather no one knew. These secrets spell the difference between success and mediocrity or losses for the majority of investors. Without them he says it is impossible to become wealthy with stocks. As for mutual funds, he describes them as a trap for the unwary.

"You never heard of a mutual fund going bankrupt, did you?" he asks. "Most people are shocked to hear how much they extract from their clients above and beyond sales commission."

He says it is important that young people learn about investing and money management before they leave school and become part of the workforce. Without the knowledge he provides they get distracted by so many competing requirements and habits that by the time they wake up to the urgency of doing some retirement planning it is already too late. He believes financial education should begin in Fourth Grade.
