LECTURE: HOW TO BUY REAL ESTATE UNDER PRICE?
  • You will learn how to choose the right location for your investment. You will learn technical analysis that will give you a clear answer on which location to invest in, where the shortest return, the highest return % or the highest potential for investment is.

  • Libor will teach you how to buy well below cost, because success in real estate is all about the purchase price. Buying cheap = higher yield %, shorter payback, better appraisals from banks, better collateral management and the ability to negotiate with banks. Learn exact tips from Libor's experience buying well below cost properties in 2023.
  • In addition to the above, together you will look at how to properly finance an investment property. Because HYPOTHESIS is evil. A mortgage is not a tool to invest in investment properties. It will very quickly overleverage you. Libor will show you how investors, finance real estate purchases through the bank, even though they don't have sufficient creditworthiness and without using a mortgage.

AN INTERVIEW WITH THE AUTHOR OF THREE BESTSELLING BOOKS IN PSYCHOLOGY AND BEHAVIORAL ECONOMICS. THE DISCUSSION WILL BE MODERATED BY LUKÁŠ KOVANDA

The journey of MISBELIEF: WHAT MAKES RATIONAL PEOPLE BELIEVE IRRATIONAL THINGS began with my own experience being the target of conspiracy theories but quickly became a phenomenon that affects all of us. I will use misbelief to describe the distorted lens through which people begin to view, reason, and tell the world to themselves and others.

LECTURE: INVESTMENT OF THE DECADE? CZECH AGRICULTURE SPEAKS OUT

Investment in farmland and farms is a classic alternative allocation of capital. Land prices are not correlated with financial market developments in the long term, and farm production is an interesting way to achieve an attractive return without exposure to risks in the general economy at a time of high inflation, which is also affecting food. Domestic agriculture is (not only) thanks to subsidies one of the very profitable sectors of the Czech economy and, like industry, technological advances are fully penetrating it. Productivity is growing and the state's priority is to combat drought and soil erosion. The sector is therefore rightly in the crosshairs of the first pure agricultural investment funds, through which any investor can indirectly get quality Czech farms into their portfolio.

PANELOVÁ DISKUSE: FINFLUENCERS – KDO JSOU, KSAKRU, FINANČNÍ INFLUENCEŘI?!

Not long ago, few people knew the term "financial influencer". However, with the advent of the pandemic and the spread of investment retail, the so-called finfluncers have gained momentum. Their influence is growing, but it's not always a good thing. Where did financial influencers come from? Should we take them as a relevant source of information? Can we successfully invest according to them? As part of the Global Investment Summit 2023, we invite you to a panel discussion of personalities who follow or are directly part of finfluencing, not only in the Czech Republic!

  • Who is a financial influencer? What does he do and why?
  • Where did he come from? What was behind the expansion of their influence?
  • What is the best way to evaluate a financial influencer? Finfluencer as an "investment". Why does it make sense to analyze it the same way as a company/stock.
  • Where did the idea of becoming a finfluencer come from? Do they have the background to do it, or is it just another "pot sale"?
  • Own experience, transparency, track record as the only mark of success, etc.
