Mello 2019, the annual two-day investment conference run by David Stredder, was back in London this week – and it was another big success. Mello events are hands-down the best (and most fun) gatherings of private investors and they keep getting better. Once again, both days were packed with company presentations and a programme of talks and panel discussions in the theatres at the Clayton hotel in Chiswick. Highlights were numerous, but things got off to an interesting start with a panel debate on how to encourage young people to become investors. MoneyWeek’s executive editor John Stepek hosted the discussion between Andy Parsons (The Share Centre), Michael Taylor (@ShiftingShares), Megan Boxall, Lord John Lee and Lilian Nandi. Lord Lee, of course, was quite literally talking his own book – having published Yummi Yoghurt – A Taste of Stock Market Investment!, an introduction to investing for teenagers, earlier this year. He stressed that getting young people into investing not only helps them begin to build wealth, but is also in the national interest. He said it was important to empower young people, to help them detect and avoid fraud and prepare for inheritance.
