Topic was well presented in Big Picture Overview! The slides are very helpful and should be required for future presentations.

Doug, great comments and glad you enjoyed. These are new to all of us so we had some who could not get in, but we are in a new world now and habits are going to have to change.

Thank you, Gary. I agree David was exceptional as well and his perspective most useful, particularly as we are subjected to dramatic headlines and little substantial content from the media.

Thank you for organizing the conference. Very informative and to the point. I could not call-up the video portion of the call so did not get the entire picture but it was very interesting to listen-in.

The charts were illuminating, Chris, primarily when accompanied by David's excellent narrative. We're just getting started in new virtual world and will experience normal adaptation pains, but with 66 tuned in I consider it a successful launch.

David gave a great overview. Watch for the large increase in personal income taxes. He discarded inflation in the first answer, but seemed to recognize the risk later in his presentation.

Thought the presentation was good, maybe too many charts, but he did get the message across of potentially higher taxes starting next year; limited recovery until 2021 and as long as there is no need for immediate cash from investments; be patient and wait for the rebound.

The presentation was fabulous. It was well presented and very informative hitting exactly where we are during this time. He made many good points about the upcoming economy and what to look for in the future.

Had some problems with the Web Ex app. Been doing a lot of Zoom lately which is fine but couldn't get the audio from the Web Ex Site...had to turn on my phone separately to hear. Good overall presentation and analysis of US Markets and predictions. Although with such unprecedented stimulus and circumstances hard to make accurate forecasts. Slides a little too complex and geared more to professionals rather than to our audience.Look forward to further virtual presentations. Good work Jim.
