Discovering Canadian MicroCaps in 2024 + Planet MicroCap Showcase: VANCOUVER 2024 Now Open with Paul Andreola, Founder and Editor of Small Cap Discoveries

My guest on the show today is Paul Andreola, Founder and Editor of Small Cap Discoveries. I invited Paul on the show today for two reasons: 1. I always enjoy hearing Paul's perspective on what's happening north of the border in MicroCaps, which we cover, and 2. I'm excited to announce that the Planet MicroCap Showcase: VANCOUVER in association with Small Cap Discoveries event registration is now open. The dates for this year are September 25-26, 2024 at the Fairmont Waterfront Vancouver.

In 2023, we successfully launched our first Planet MicroCap Showcase: VANCOUVER at the beginning of September, and Paul Andreola and his team hosted their invite only Small Cap Discoveries Day a few weeks later. This year, we combined our events to SHOWCASE the best North American MicroCaps possible.

VEGAS 2024 Recap: Stand-out Management Q&As, Presentations and 1x1s with Maj Soueidan (GeoInvesting) and Mathieu Martin (Rivemont MicroCap Fund)

There was so much that happened at the Planet MicroCap Showcase: VEGAS 2024, that I thought it would be fun to do a post-event debrief. Joining me were arguably the two busiest people at the event besides our staff, Maj Soueidan from GeoInvesting and Mathieu Martin from the Rivemont MicroCap Fund, who between them did 14 fireside chats with management teams, attended additional presentations on top of that, and another 20-25 1x1s combined on Thursday. In our chat today, we talked about what Q&As and companies stood out to them, as well as differential insights gained from the 1x1s/Q&As they participated in.

Eclectic Value, Intelligent Diversification, MicroCap Turnarounds + $VTNR $ASPI $LFMD $CSSE $JYNT $RITM with Chris Abbott, CIO of 1035 Capital Management

My guest on the show today is Chris Abbott, CIO of 1035 Capital Management. As it states on the 1035 Capital Management website, "our passion is to uncover these opportunities [companies undergoing fundamental business improvements that should drive future stock returns] before the ramifications of a positive catalyst become evident to the majority of investors, a concept we call “front running the black box.” This quote encapsulates everything we talk about today: the idea of eclectic value, intelligent diversification, MicroCap turnarounds, and we dive into a few stocks that exemplify some of these themes, as well as Chris' 'Small Cap Core' investment strategy.

Why Are We Talking about Up-listing / Cross-listing / Delisting and Why Should We Care with Joe Lucosky, Managing Partner at Lucosky Brookman

My guest on the show today is Joe Lucosky, Managing Partner at Lucosky Brookman. You might take one look at this title and might not think this is for you; as an investor you might wonder why should you care whether a company decides to uplist, cross-list or even delist? What do these terms even mean? Why is the company wasting their time even considering any of these corporate actions? If you've ever asked yourself this question, whether you're an investor or even an issuer, this is without a doubt the episode for you. Even if you've never thought about these topics, I think you'll find our conversation fascinating.

In the world of Micro and Nano-caps, this conversation is happening in every boardroom: should we uplist to the NASDAQ from OTC Markets? What's this new U.S. Listings program at CBOE? Should we delist to the OTCQX, QB or the Pinks? Is it too soon for us to Uplist? Should we cross-list onto OTC or NASDAQ? Should we do a simultaneous raise with uplist or cross-list? How will our investors react to this?

I've known Joe for years and has given multiple keynotes on this topic at our recent investor conferences, including a Keynote Q&A with Erik Sloane from the CBOE at the Planet MicroCap Showcase: VEGAS on April 30, 2024. You don't want to miss that. This is Joe's topic, his bread and butter, and he truly enjoys helping companies understand what makes the most sense for them. I think we do a good job covering every angle on the topic, but look, I invite you to give it a listen, and would love your feedback on this one.
