The cybersecurity talent crisis isn't abt headcount. Avg tenure has dropped to 1.8 yrs. Burnout is rampant. 59% of roles now demand business judgment, not just technical skills. Hiring more wrong people faster is a expensive, wrong way to solve a problem. $PANW $CRWD $FTNT $CHKP

Vancouver is one of the best places for value investors without being distracted by Wall Street or Bay Street noise. The city's vibe supports a more patient, fundamentals-driven mindset, vs one shaped by institutional chatter, conference cycles, & capital-markets positioning.

For 10Y, low interest rates & abundant buy/sell liquidity hav worked well for PEs. Now they are shifting focus to specialized ERP that can be scaled via internationalization & buy-&-build strategies on the back of higher capital costs, geopolitical tensions, & a slow exit market.

Most life sciences SaaS providers still trade at sky-high valuations. $CSU will likely need to wait several years for those businesses to mature before they become the kind of cash-generating "cows" they prefer to milk. Be patient.
