For this episode of the Planet
MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Donald Porter, Senior Vice President at DGHM
& Co. I met Donald a couple months ago, and we were talking about how his
firm was working on a white paper talking about MicroCap stocks. I followed up
with him and he sent it over. The white paper is titled, “MicroCaps Value
Uncovered,” and I thought, rather than dissecting the paper myself, why not
invite Donald onto the podcast to explain the firm’s thesis.
And furthermore, as the first line of the thesis
states, “The world of microcap stocks is an exciting, vast and rich place to
allocate capital.” That got my attention and I wanted to hear more, so here we
go.
The goal for this episode is to
learn about the opportunities when investing in MicroCap Stocks, according to
DGHM & Co., what makes MicroCap stocks interesting today relative to other
asset classes, and an understanding of MicroCap stocks as compared to large
caps.
