I travelled to Vancouver this week to meet with several companies I have been following closely. You can learn an incredible amount of information about a company by devouring the endless number of documents on the internet related to the company and it area business and by running up your phone bill talking with the company, the company's partners, competitors, etc. However I don't think you can really get a really good "feel" about a company's true potential until you meet the President and/or directors face to face and drill them with tough questions and see how they react. In my opinion body language can often tell you a lot more than a simple press release. It is well worth the cost of the flight and hotel to meet the people in charge of your investment. I arranged to meet up with Crazy Canuk in Vancouver, who was already in Calgary for the Net Sherpard AGM and was planning on carrying on to BC to also visit companies. The only thing I can say is the name suits him <gggg> Just joking CC, it was a lot of fun. CC and I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Toby Chu in person at the Capital Alliance Group's office in Vancouver. In all honesty I can say out of the 8 companies I met with, the best meeting by far was with Mr. Chu and the individual's from CPT. Both CC and I went in with a very long list of tough questions and I was personally not disappointed by a single answer which is unusual since I normally expect to catch up the president on at least one or two question <ggg> I already had a very good impression of Mr. Chu after talking with him on the phone but meeting him in person solidified my opinion. Mr. Chu went into detail about the backgrounds of the people and partners presently involved with the company and his vision for the company and all I can say is WOW. The great thing was that Mr. Chu was not hyping the company at all but was just stating the facts... which is what I like to hear, just the facts. Over the next few days I will try and put my notes together along with my past research and post all the details on the people and partners involved. One of the best trips like this I have been on.
