Speaking of which, I have an old Langara fishing pal here, Mario Vassaux. Mario and I also fished the Baja and the interior of British Columbia. He also took me on the Colorado River. Mario’s also a member of our World Technology Counsel, an advisor and frequent speaker with Corum. Mario, welcome to our webcast today. Tell us what you’re doing, Mario.

Mario Vassaux

Thank you, Bruce. I’m still involved in gaming through mobile apps. I also have dealings in other technologies, including medical apps and devices and totally focused right now on developing opportunities in the Internet of Things.

Bruce Milne

Oh, great. That’s great. Speaking of Internet of Things, we look forward to maybe getting some comments from you later on, and we have a conference on the Internet of Things coming up. We have a lot of conferences coming up, as well, what’s really interesting is that we’re seeing record attendance in the summertime. That Berlin conference, wow. Mario, I know you’ve been to conferences, and also spoken at those. What’s your view of the benefit of attending one of these educational events.

Mario Vassaux

One of the things is that the better educated you are in the process, the less mistakes you’re going to make and the fewer regrets you’re going to have.

Bruce Milne

It’s a complex process, and there are lots of opportunities for mistakes and you don’t want to make a mistake in the most important transaction of your life. And you want to be well-educated, which means you need to know what’s happening in valuations; who’s buying?

So let’s move to our research report on all 29 sectors with Elon, Amber, Aaron, Yasmin, and joining us from Ukraine, Artem.
