In this presentation Leon covers the performance of the best professional investors, based on the must read book: The Art of Execution, and discusses the findings of the different personality types. Leon starts with an enlightening poll to test the room on their behaviours. This serves to show the different trading behaviours of the personality types cited: rabbits, assassins and hunters. He goes on to cover what do with winning holdings, with the characteristics of the raider and connoisseurs. Then he takes the same filters as those outlined in the book, to scrutinize his own historic performance, under the same microscope, and highlights some interesting findings. Finally, he offers his own stock pick.
This is the calibre of Keynote Speakers at Mello.
Mello London (26/27th November), is two days of similar Keynote speakers including Lord Lee of Trafford, Judith MacKenzie, Downing, Paul Scott and Graham Neary, plus a wide selection of interesting small cap companies, alongside Stockopedia, ShareSoc and other supporters of the investing community.

Alex Cowan, Chief Executive Officer, RazorSecure.
Alex’s presentation discussed “Cyber Security and Transport – protection on the move” highlighting the processes, requirements and challenges facing companies today.
Alex Cowan started RazorSecure after 15 years in the gaming industry working on massive multiplayer games with hundreds of thousands of players and thousands of servers. During that time, he worked in developing software to manage credit card payments and live operational systems as well as dealing with hackers trying to gain an advantage over other players. He saw an opportunity to manage cyber security in a different way, using machine learning with a focused approach to individual systems rather than focusing on network traffic. RazorSecure now provides its patented machine-based learning software to transport system suppliers and operators across Europe.
