I think it is good to go to AGMs of great companies.

Don't go to AGM of lousy companies, otherwise familiarity can build up false confidence.....

Good to have free lunch.
Good to have free door gift.
No free lunch, no free door gift, AGM only attended by the BOD and company staffs.

Attending PPB AGM, they give you 5kg bag of flour.
As soon after you take the 'door gift', you can sell it to someone waiting to buy from you with van/lorry waiting outside the venue.

Best is to attend Parkson AGM, you will be misled till you lost in Mars.........

Posted by ks55 > 2018-08-26 11:14 | Report Abuse

Remember the old Indian retiree who attended Parkson AGM 2 years back?
Really feel pity for him if he is still keeping Parkson shares beacuse WC asked if that gentleman still had confidence in him......

I have only attended 1 AGM so far.

Too busy.

Also, too expensive in terms of "opportunity cost" to attend.

Those who attended were kind to give me a briefing on what transpired.

whatever conclusion one gets from attending AGM ( whether bull or bear) is not reliable one....it is emotional attachments or emotional repulsion....its a staged agenda for a captured audience.

its games people play.

Dear all,
You should prepared your questions beforehand thus needed to force yourself to read thro’ many years and many pages of Annual report. Spread your questions to CEO, Chairperson, Independent director, Management, Auditor and prepared to debate them on their answers.

You can get a lot of useful insight procedural information from the auditor.

Thank you
