You missed my admittedly too-far-from-explicit point hansix. I meant if literally "I" were to show up at the Waldorf with 2 days' notice and no company material. That sign would be better than a no show at all. No dog and pony show. Only a gold mine in a big room full of gold mining investors.

My point is that I agree it would have been a good opportunity to introduce new investors, at any level of budget allocation.
