Maybe if you were to phrase this as I have "BLANK" (weather it be free time or man power) to help any experienced investor doing "BLANK" (whatever it is you want to learn) you would have a solid shot at finding a mentor in your area that is already doing what it is that you want to learn.

This is going to be a very nice week weather wise; go to Beale St, eat at Blue City Cafe, meet the locals.  

One week, analysts forecast crude will slip below $20 in the spring; the next week they predict crude will top $80 by the fall.What's certain is that the industry is in transition, with more layoffs, bankruptcies, mergers, Ned acquisitions to come.
