Shareholders’ fairs
As part of membership services expansion, we are about to introduce
a cycle of shareholders’ fairs which aim at informing you and your members about high- potential listed companies from different sectors in various countries. These events create a great opportunity to exchange useful information, to create valuable contacts and to obtain information about possibilities of successful investment abroad.
However, it is important to mention that WFIC provides information and educational programs but does not recommend specific investments.
We will soon provide you with details of the first event.

The decade of 2000 stock market performance
The Wall Street Journal reported that the decade of 2000 saw the worst stock market performance in history! “A nightmare”, was one description. Others suggested it would have been better to put your money under your mattress. Many investors were lured to the market by the 17.6% average annual return in the 1990’s. But then companies just got too expensive (too highly valued), then dividends were cut, then the disaster of 2008. S&P 500 lost an average of 3.8%/year (inflation adjusted). In the 1930’ decade there was a 1.8% average annual gain.
