I am going to be trying something new in today’s virtual age of online meetings. It might work, it might be a bust, who knows. But I’ll try.
Late Night Finance with Sacha
Date: Friday, May 1, 2020
Time: 9:00pm, Pacific Time
Duration: Projected 1 hour, but if it leads to something interesting, longer.
Where: Zoom
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What are you doing?
A: This will be a Q&A session. Ask me about any company on the TSX/Nasdaq/NYSE and I will dissect it. Other questions about an economic/financial nature are accepted as well. I’ll share screens and go through financial statements and annotate (verbally or otherwise). This can be used as a sleeping aid for you.
Q: Why are you doing this?
A: Experimentation in video broadcasting. Who knows, I might learn something from you as well.
Q: Why so freaking late? I live in the eastern time zone.
A: It is late night finance, is it not?
Q: How do I register?
A: Send sacha@divestor.com an email. Subject line “Late Night Finance May 1”, and in the message body tell me what city and province/state you’re from (or if you’re international, city and country). I’ll reply later with the zoom channel and passcode to get in.
Q: Are you trying to spam me, try to sell me garbage, etc. if I register?
A: I can hardly manage a mailing list without breaking my own website, what makes you think I will spam you? No, if you register for this, I will not harvest your email or send you any solicitations. Also I am not using this to pump and dump any securities to you, although I will certainly offer opinions on what I see.
Q: If I register and don’t show up, will you be mad at me?
A: No.
Q: Will you (Sacha) be on video (i.e. this isn’t just an audio-only stream)?
A: Yes. You’ll get to see me.
Q: Will I need to be on video?
A: I’d prefer it, and you are more than welcome to be in your pajamas. No judgements!
Q: Can I be a silent participant?
A: Yes, although there isn’t much of a Q&A without at least one of you asking questions! I’ll start off with a small commentary and we can head on from there.
Q: Is there an archive of the video I can watch later if I can’t make it?
A: No.
Q: Is there a limit to the people that can participate?
A: Given the last-minute nature of this posting, I’d be surprised if there will be ANYBODY showing up, but until I get a better idea of how to manage these conferences, I’ll figure this one out if the situation occurs. This also includes me learning aspects of video meeting moderation.
Q: If nobody shows up, what then?
A: To be perfectly frank, I’m expecting this particular outcome. I’ll host another meeting with more notice.
Q: Will there be something in the future?
A: Yes, I’ll give a little more notice.
