Tuesday Sep 03, 2019

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Meb Faber, Host of the Meb Faber Podcast, and Co-founder and the Chief Investment Officer of Cambria Investment Management.

Ep. 94 - How Working for San Antonio Spurs Helped Shape Investing Thesis with Adam Wilk, Greystone Capital Management

Tuesday Aug 20, 2019

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Adam Wilk, Portfolio Manager at Greystone Capital Management and Editor of Pound the Rock Investing investor blog. I reached out to Adam after reading his blog post, “Basketball and Investing: A Match Made in Heaven”, where he documents his experience working for the San Antonio Spurs. In the post, and you will soon hear, his time working with the Spurs and general manager, R.C. Buford, yielded lessons that he was able to incorporate into his passion for investing.

Adam’s blog, “Pound the Rock Investing”, is even inspired by the Stonecutter’s Creedo, a quote made famous by Jacob Riis, and is at the core of the Spurs’ culture. I’m a huge sports fan, and love when investing podcasts bring on people who have worked in the sports world. There are so many parallels, and if you’re a fan like me, you’ll enjoy my upcoming chat with Adam.

Ep. 93 - “The Joys of Compounding” and the Passionate Pursuit of Lifelong Learning with Gautam Baid, Author of “The Joys of Compounding”

Tuesday Aug 06, 2019

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Gautam Baid, Author of “The Joys of Compounding.” I’m always looking for new books to read that can offer a new perspective or outlook on the world or investing. What is cool about Gautam’s book, “The Joys of Compounding” is that is achieves both of those things. As you will hear, we discuss at length his investing style and thesis, but more importantly, how Gautam’s passion for learning has served him well in all of life’s pursuits.

Ep. 92 - Moats, Management and Price: Breaking Down the Venn Diagram with Todd Wenning, Senior Analyst at Ensemble Capital

Tuesday Jul 23, 2019

For this episode of Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Todd Wenning, Senior Analyst at Ensemble Capital. I first became aware of Todd when I found his profile on Twitter and he had this venn diagram outlining his investment philosophy pinned to his page. I thought to myself, I’ve got to interview him to learn more about how and why Todd constructed his philosophy, and condense his strategy into this one-pager.

Ep. 91 - So you want to be an Activist Investor? with Jeff Gramm, Bandera Partners and Author of “Dear Chairman”

Tuesday Jul 09, 2019

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I caught up with Jeff Gramm, Author of “Dear Chairman”. In our first interview on the podcast, Episode 40, we dissect his book, “Dear Chairman” - chapter by chapter. During that interview, we talk about the history and rise of shareholder activism, how it has evolved in the last 100 years, the difference between shareholder activism in large caps and microcaps, and much more. I invited Jeff back because I’ve been wanting to do an episode similar to ones I’ve done with Ian Cassel and Mike Schellinger about the life of a full-time MicroCap investor, but for this episode – the life of an activist investor and the best practices for those of you that may be interested in wanting to be an activist. The goal for this episode is to try and answer the question: so you want to be an activist investor?

Ep. 90 - MicroCap Graduation Series: eXp World Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EXPI)

Tuesday Jun 25, 2019

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, we are launching a new series here called, the “MicroCap Graduation Series”. I’ve done about 90 interviews here on the podcast, and I’ve interviewed some of the best investors, where they discuss the investing strategies that helped them be successful investors. The next evolution I always envisioned for Planet MicroCap was to interview CEO’s who have successfully navigated the MicroCap waters to either be acquired by or graduate to a Small-, Mid- or Large-Cap company.

The goal is to portray a full picture of the Micro-, Nano-cap space – from learning strategies to help you become a successful investor and to show that there are actual real, live public companies that have found success as a public Micro- or Nano-cap company. There also may be some of you listening to this that are CEOs or C-suite management of a Micro/Nano-cap public company or emerging growth private company; my guest today and future guests of this series have a lot of great information to share that led to their success.

Without further or due, my first guest for this series is Glenn Sanford, Founder and CEO of eXp World Holdings, Inc. They are a publicly traded company on NASDAQ, with the symbol, EXPI. As a quick background, eXp World Holdings, Inc. operates eXp Realty, a cloud-based, international real estate brokerage firm. eXp is one of the fastest growing real estate brands in North America that currently has 18,000+ agents/brokers on their platform. They are tech company that from 2014-2018, EXPI’s revenue experienced a 147% CAGR. All numbers I’m relaying here are from EXPI’s May 2019 investor presentation.

The company went public in late 2013 as a small MicroCap, where it traded as low at $0.15 during 2014, and as of today, June 25, 2019 is trading at $10.77 per share, with a market cap of around $664 million. I derived share and market cap information from Yahoo Finance.

For full disclosure, SNN Incorporated or myself are not shareholders of EXPI. This interview is for information purposes only and recommend you do your own due diligence prior to making any investment decision.

Ep. 89 - Your Investing Strategy Has to Fit You with Vitaliy Katsenelson, CEO/CIO of Investment Management Associates, Inc. (IMA)

Tuesday Jun 11, 2019

For this episode of Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Vitaliy Katsenelson, CEO and CIO of IMA. I came to know Vitaliy by finding his profile on Twitter. From there, I started reading his blog, listening to his podcast and read a few of the available chapters of his book, and knew I had to reach out to have him on.

In this interview we focus quite a bit on how the more you know yourself, then the more informed you’ll be about what type of investing strategy and investor you will be.

As Vitaliy states in the interview, and I’m paraphrasing here, “investing is like clothes shopping. Some will look great, but when you try them on, that clothing item may not fit right. You try on different clothing that looks good, and eventually you find what works for you.” The goal for this episode is to learn how Vitaliy looked inward to understand what investing strategy would work best for him. Maybe this inspires you to look inward in order to help yourself become the best investor you can be.

Ep. 88 - The Big Picture for Small Cap Value with Bill Nasgovitz, Founder and Portfolio Manager at the Heartland Value Fund

Tuesday May 28, 2019

For this episode of Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Bill Nasgovitz, Chairman and Portfolio Manager of the Heartland Value Fund and Small Cap Value Strategy. I had originally met Bill two years at an investor conference in California, and he ended up agreeing to be our keynote speaker at our 2017 Planet MicroCap Showcase, where he discussed “Opportunity in a Passive World”. Click here to watch his presentation

Mr. Nasgovitz has over 50 years experience as a MicroCap investor, as well as 35 years with Heartland. He has more experience investing in what we all know and love probably than most of us have collectively. With that, I had to have Bill on to share his insights on how the Small Cap, MicroCap universe has changed over the years, Heartland’s investment process and what the opportunity is for investors in the Small, Micro and Nano-Cap space.
