"This morning's conference was great! It was a wide range of participants on the panels and that was a great way to hear a wide view of options and ideas from the panelists! Kevin Hancock gets my vote for most open, honest and helpful answers to questions. He was outstanding and his thoughts today were very heartfelt and honest. Take away the layers of "facade" and discuss the truth of what it's like and how you face the issuers."
