Alright Jim, you've got your work cut out for you today, good sir...

Dear Daily Reckoning Reader, Fellow Reckoners will recall that Jim Amrhein is our "roving reporter" at this year's Agora Financial Investment Symposium here in Vancouver. He's your eyes and ears at the event. Ours too. And, as anyone here will tell you, an extra pair of eyes and ears can be invaluable at a conference like this. Yesterday, for example, we heard from Rick Rule, Juan Enriquez, Frank Holmes, Doug Clayton, Barry Ritholtz, Patrick Cox and Addison Wiggin... And that was all before cocktail hour! Then we previewed – along with a packed-out conference hall – Addison's new film, RISK! The showing was followed by an audience Q&A...then some more cocktails, just to be sure. If you are here with us in Vancouver, you know it's a pretty hectic week...in a good-kind-of-hectic way. Even the most astute attendees are bound to miss a detail or two. Again, that's why Jim's here...to catalogue every intellectual square inch of the event, to bring you all the boots-on-ground details, all the ins and outs. In today's dispatch, Jim brings you five jam-packed seminars worth of notes. Let's start at the beginning. Jim, the floor is yours...
