I won't call VMGI/Veve. If I had a lot of money to invest or already invested, I would go to his office. When I was younger and eager, I used to track down CEOs of stocks I held or thought about buying in CA. I had my business suit and 'power tie' on and my leather brief case in hand and got by almost every receptionist and was called in after my story of being an investor and had a group of investors very interested in the company. Not a lie, I started an investment club with about a dozen of us and about 12k to work with.lol
My point is, the only way I put much value on what a CEO had to say, was when we were 'eye to eye' and 'toe to toe'. Sometimes at an annual meeting also.
After years of talking to hundreds of people while in the insurance/annuity business, I became pretty good at 'reading' people.....like a good old court judge does.
I spent almost 30 years cold calling people for appointments 3-5 days a week and it didn't take long to learn how to tell people what they wanted to hear, within the law, and how to say it just right.
Tired, retired and going broke now. The rat race is over for me, and the rats won.
