Anavex Life Sciences Corp (AVXL)

Pazzo, I won't answer for Mayo (or TTT), and I will admit that I have neither been to a major biotech conference nor have I been a significant investor in the sector. However, I did run a modest sized small/mid-cap hedge fund in a quite different sector for a number of years, and I found attending certain industry conferences like this one to be very useful. You may be quite right about the live streaming and, of course, non-public information won't be dished out - perish the thought! However, Mayo will undoubtedly schmooze. He will chat with Anavex personnel and related researchers. He will likely meet other researchers and no doubt some clinicians, who will have interesting perspectives on the Anavex approach. Perhaps he will also meet some biotech analysts and investors and tap their thinking...maybe even a few BP execs strolling about. With the innuendo, color, and some details of details, he will likely sharpen his mosaic beyond what is simply laid out in the formal presentation. Anyway, he has already provided us with some useful analytical work without charge, so I have no problem throwing a few nickels into the pot for him to schmooze....
