With a new born it will be very hard for me to travel. If you guys pick any place near NY, I will be happy to make it.
I may be interested in a meeting next summer. I'm way to busy until then
Seems like the interest in the Meet and Greet get together is down with the market. A small group makes decisions easier, and maybe if we pick a weekend and location for in the new year, the interest may grow as we near event approaches. Then again, maybe we need another invite post on the two main boards, Mother and FFA.

Hard to beleive there is not more to choose from in the rest of '08.
I assume the Roth conference shown is Feb 09, not 08, right? That could work for me.
Monterey is May 09 would be easily driveable for me, but let's try to do something sooner. Ditto the Money Show thing in SF end of July.
We could also meet somewhere without a conference and rent a conference room for a couple of meetings. Lake Tahoe offers lots of stuff to do in the winter!
Here are some Investment Conferences I found that look like they are annual events.
Name Location Approx Date
Red Chip Conference San Francisco 6/4/08
Red Chip Conference NYC 8/21/08
Paulson's Westergaard Conf NYC 11/12/08
AeA Microcap Financial Conf Monterey Ca 5/3-5/5/09
aeanet.org
Roth Capital Partners
China Las Vegas 11-19-11/21/08
Invitation only, will check on requirements
Roth OC Growth Conf Dana Point, Ca 2/18-2/21/08
Morningstar Inv Conf McCormick Pl, Chicago 5/27-5/29/09
Money Show Las Vegas 5/11-5/14/09
Money Show/Manage Portfolio San Francisco 7/31-8/2/09
Hard Asset Conference Las Vegas 7/27/08
Mining/Resource stocks
Cambridge Resource Conference Vancouver BC 1/09
Mining/resource stocks
The conferences with 08 dates will likely have another show in 09 around the same time.
Anything look interesting? Let's talk about it. Bobwins
You or Bobwins need to update the ibox, and start putting together some ideas. I cannot make the Vegas gig this year, as I'm attending the J.F.K. 50-miler in Maryland.
Bob and Hank,
Well those were a couple of fast and similar responses. I don't know if we will get this planned for this year (2008), it may have to slip into 09, January or February. It will be interesting to see what interest there ends up being. I only posted the "invite" on the Motherboard and Free for ALL, you would think those two would get a message to everyone. Well let's see what happens. I will probably only be able to check this board once a day. Let's have another decent market day tomorrow.

Meet & Greet...
Any place,, any time is OK with me.. Might try a cheap fly in city so more attend and in conjuntion with an event of some kind.. hank
I'm all for meeting somewhere. It would be nice if there was a conference so we could kill two birds with one stone. The hard part is finding a conference all would enjoy and figuring out a good place to meet. I will try and find a conference or two and then we can talk. Bobwins
I would also like to see this happen if we can do it.
Let's figure out how and when we get together..hank
Bob, if we get around to it, count me in and I will help to coordinate unless I have a conflict I can't get out of. When is the Trader Expo in Las Vegas this year, in November? I would vote for Las Vegas, Denver, Seattle or where ever.
Maybe we need to throw the idea out there again on the Main and Free for All boards to generate and refer discussion to the Meet and Greet Board. I can do it, but it would likely get more interest from you.

Wow. Could be a great idea. The sell in May idea would sure have been better the past three years. Enjoy yourself! You deserve it. Bob
Bob..
I left Fla on June 1 and have been on the water since except for two weeks in a boatyard in RI.. Spent a month at Block Island RI and will be going back this Sat.. Will stay there until the week after Labor Day and cruse back to Fla and should be back in Titusville, Fla.,, across from the launching pads for NASA by the end of Sept. month.. I'm looking forward to another meet and greet and don't really care where we do it.. It's been years since I was in Vancouver and would go there also.. This market sucks and some stocks are evaporateing like melting Ice but still up nicely for the year but well off my highs.. Haven't posted because I have had no real internet accesss and when I found one the temptation to start DD and trade was just too much and I really wanted to take the time off.. It will be 5 months before it's all over and that is something worth doing each year.. Mabee working and tradeing until May 1, then sell and go away for six months might just become habit forming.. hank
The home away from home.. Bad picture as she is 42 feet and seems compressed ............Next year will be on a Schooner that I own and I will have 6 months to get her ready...
Please post stock symbols first in all your posts. If it's a foreign stock, please also list the US pk equivalent symbol...

Hi Hank, On the water? Is this business or pleasure?
Do you take time off for hurricanes??
Bobwins
Count me in,, any place,, time,, or coast after Oct 1.. Until then I'm on the water...hank
I would be interested if I could work the schedule around family commitments. Would not need to be Vegas, though that could work.
Good advice. I took some last year and will take some more this year. Lots to learn.
JFF7
Recommend you take some of the seminars. Very helpful, imo.
I am going to be in Vegas regardless as I take that opportunity to take in the Traders show and enjoy some time at the tables.
JFF7
fwiw, I don't think I could swing another trip in this year.
Hadn't thought about it too much. Market's been pretty ugly. Will depend on whether enough folks want to get together. Would you be interested?
Bobwins
I will be attending the one in Vegas again in November. hope to see some of you there like last time.
JFF7
I'll be crusing NE.. hank
not I, busy around the house this summer
Anybody going to Trader Expo in LA?
It June 18th to 20th. They call it LA but it is really Ontario CA 50 miles away.
BG
If you want to stop by Jersey shore, we can have a drink. I live right on the water.
Meet and Greet..
It's time for a trip.. anyone think we should meet in the month of May,, as I'll be on the water for 6 weeks starting may 20.. Bringing the boat north to Block Island for the summer.. Any one want to come to block in late June and July i have a bunk room for 2.. My Grand kids will be on and off and trips to the land house will happen.. Hank
Digi- Thanks for the great evening. I really enjoyed meeting you all.
VMC'ers.. Meet and Greet..
Just got back to Florida after 4 Day's/Night's in Vegas..
Louise and I had a wonderful time and it's a shame that more did not attend.. The exchange of Ideas with out the exchange of telephone numbers has kept the exchange of Ideas where they belong,, On IHUB and IMO continuation of the exchange of ideas on VMC..
Those that were there I am sure found that even though we came from different parts of the country/countries we all shared one purpose and that was to make MONEY in our stock portfolios..
None IMO were or looked as I expected but all were contributors to the dialog and further willingness of aiding each other and VMC'ers in future ideas of investment opportunities.. Wives were welcome and mine was happy she came.. I wish to thank each of you that attended and my desire to do it again.. I urge all to attend and share a bond that rarely occurs on any message board..
I also wish to remind all that Bobwins was the reason that we all post and remains in his hold and mold investment stance on most stocks the voice of calm in the markets of today..
As we have many more lurkers than posters I also urge them to become involved in not just another message board,, but a band of minds each with thier own ideas and faults making investment decisions that work because of the collective input of all..
It's late,, Time for bed and I can't wait for the next meet and greet.. hank
Are you still at Mandalay Bay? I can drop it off.
It's mine ..Hank
Great trip guys! Thanks again for making the effort to get together. We'll have to do something similar in the future. Have a good Thanksgiving.

I found a bag yesterday next to the driver seat last night. There are a few 2 ihub and 2 realticks t-shirts inside. Someone took my ride back to the hotel left there. Let me know.
Well I am in Vegas and am unfortunately going to this "first" VMC Meet & Greet on a down day for my portfolio and a down week. But what the hell, it sure isn't a down year. Tinoco's Bistro is a little hard to notice and is in almost a light commercial/industrial area, so hopefully no one will have a problem finding it just because it doesn't stand out. If you are in a taxi you probably won't have a problem. A small parking lot and the entrance are almost hidden inside a fence and there is a larger parking lot across the street. Look forward to seeing everyone.

Got in to Vegas yesterday.
Just sitting by the pool sipping a cold beer.
Off to a 5:30 seminar tonight and then will try my hands at craps for the first time.
See you guys at dinner on Fri / Sat.
JFF7
I was on the bubble about being able to attend, but as it turns out will not be able to. Have fun!
I just arrived at my hotel in Vegas a few minutes ago.
Mike
I confirmed Sat night dinner for 12 at Cili. They gave us wiggle room if we have more people. I am in K.C. at the moment headed back to Denver Thursday and Vegas Saturday Morning. ANY LAST MINUTE GUESTS: If you look at my previous posts here you will find all of the details for the dinner.
Travel Safe!

Confirmation for Friday and Saturday
My wife and I will be at Tinoco's Bistro at 6:30 on Friday and at Cili at 6:00 PM on Saturday.
Looking forward to see all of you. Have a nice trip.
BG
See you there <bg>
Friday the 16th--I called again to confirm the reservation and good thing I did. They had us down for lunch, not dinner. But no problem, it is straight now. 6:30 p.m. at Tinoco's Bistro at 103 E. Charleston Blvd. The owner who answers the phone has a really heavy Italian accent. Hopefully that is a good sign.

I couple more things to pencil in on the schedule:

Revised IHUBBER plans for VEGAS:
There will always be cool folks from ADVFN & IHub at the booth, so feel free to stop by any time and say hello to the crew. We should have some member-only gifts to give out - so make sure you get yours!
PLAN:
Drinks at Island Lounge at Mandalay at 4pm on THURSDAY. I've never been to this Lounge, but sounds cool, central, and full of scenery. :)
Let's do the buffet lunch at Mandalay Bayside Buffet @ 1:15pm on FRIDAY. I'll inform them we're coming and hopefully they can get us all in the same room.
My EXPO booth schedule: Friday - 9am-1pm; Saturday- 1pm to 5:30pm.
Hopefully this works for as many people as possible - I'm sure I'll get to see all of you at one of these places....
Fortunately my calculated gamble on a possible flight change worked out for the better. The meeting was moved out to January so I will definitely be arriving in Vegas on the 14th and departing on the 20th. I'm looking forward to it!
Mike
Thank you Kipp for organizing and sponsoring. Much appreciated.
Again, I will come only by myself both Friday and Sat, unless you guys want to teach my 2 year old on how to trade stocks.
Look forward meeting you guys!
For Friday night- I would like to bring a high school buddy that is meeting me. Class of '81 <bg>.
Discussing our various options to Meet Face to Face and discuss our stocks.
Value Microcaps has been bringing together investors for several years. We have developed mutual respect and made a lot of money together. Now we think it's time to meet in person. Unlike individual stock boards who agree to meet after a stock takes off, we are continually sharing winners. So we would like to meet again and celebrate our picks and plops!!
Make your opinions known! Bobwins
