Small Investor ToolboxCompany presentations, webinars, and Zoom callsEpisode notes
Thanks to modern technology it is easier than ever for companies to interact with their shareholders. Some managers are super keen and it sometimes feels like they are never off the airwaves. Others or a touch more shy, but even they hold regular webinars, online meetings, and Zoom calls following important announcements, such as the release of annual results. In this week's podcast Allan considers the value of these communications, the pros and cons of allocating time to them, and recommends some of the places where they can be found.
