      Toasterbags (actually Planit Products)- deal fell through after the show. Business is still in operation.

Also if the existing conversations with the retailers he mentioned turn into actual sales, who will get the revenue out of it?

Normally, the dragon only gets certain % for a certain period, then would reduce it once they get their money back

      The US-Stock Mrkt had been on it’s longest bull-run in history, so the mass hysteria and panic is relatable considering we’re not accustomed to such troubled mrkts, but there are avenues lurking around if you know where to look. My wife and I are retiring this year with over $7,000,000 in tax deferred investments. up until 3 years ago we were 100% in the S&P. During bear markets we had a perfect plan. We got an investment manager in our corner and didn’t look at our portfolio for nearly a year.

    I am surprised by the Wand Company ... especially Peter's interest. They even explained that it is just a universal remote control chip (and the downside that you have to learn it the relevant code, hardly magic!) - so although it is novel, I thought at least Peter would know how the PCB was able to determine gestures and orientation. But all credit to them, they have managed to make it sell well. I presume primarily as it isn't a large rectangular remote.
