For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Adrian Day, Chairman and CEO of Adrian Day Asset Management. We first met Mr. Day in 2017 at the Sprott Natural Resource Symposium, and we have done two video interviews with him discussing his viewpoints on geopolitics and natural resource investing. I wanted to do an interview with Mr. Day on the podcast to get a deeper understanding of his investing philosophy and process. On his website, he outlines how he and his firm don’t just focus on resources – they also focus on value and global opportunities. The latter of which I wanted to understand a bit further because we have not covered this topic in depth. The goal for this episode is learn more about Mr. Day’s approach to analyzing and investing in global markets.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Paul Lountzis, President of Lountzis Asset Management, LLC. I first saw Mr. Lountzis speak at the first annual MicroCapClub Leadership Summit in 2016, where he did a presentation discussing his investing strategy and the idea of differential insights. While Paul’s focus is not really MicroCaps, following his presentation, I thought he could provide insight, tools and strategies that can help investors no matter what asset or assets they focus on. The goal for this episode is to learn more about how Mr. Lountzis utilizes differential insights to assist in his investing philosophy, and the many lessons from his vast investing experiences.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Darrol Stanley, Professor of Finance at Pepperdine Graziadio School of Business. As some of you may know, I’m in the process of getting my MBA at Pepperdine, and coming into school, I wanted to do an interview with one of my professors whose class I not only enjoyed, but was also relevant to our mission with the podcast. That has all led me to my guest, Professor Darrol Stanley, my professor for finance to share his wealth of knowledge and experience with you all today. I loved Professor Stanley’s class because it was as old school as it gets, and he remained focused on teaching us the traditional value investing principles passed down from the greats: from Benjamin Graham to Warren Buffet, and we even spent time at the beginning of one class discussing Professor Sanjay Bakshi’s contributions to the world of investing. The goal for this episode to take you to class with me with one of my favorite Professors to discuss a topic we all know and love: finance and investing.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I welcome back Tom Shaughnessy to the program. When we first spoke, we discussed the importance of stock screeners and how to use them. Since then, Tom was an equity analyst at Oppenheimer for a couple years, honing his due diligence and research skills. I decided to have Tom back on because he recently started a new venture called, 51Percent Crypto Research - “51pct.io”, where he is providing institutional-grade research covering the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry. While I’ve done an interview covering ICOs on here, I have yet to do a full-on, “crypto-dedicated” episode, and we do our best to cover a lot of ground. The goal for this episode is to define cryptocurrency, blockchain and try to get a better understanding as to how to value this new asset class.

So we just passed the anniversary of when I published the first episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, which was on July 28, 2015. Since then, I have published now 73 episodes and amassed over 114,000 downloads. My goal then is the same as it is now, which is to educate the next generation of investors how to invest in MicroCap stocks. I recognized that there was so much more that I could learn as a MicroCap investor, and I wanted to take you on that journey with me.
My very first guest was Ian Cassel, Founder of MicroCapClub. Not going to lie to you, I was surprised when he said yes because he doesn’t do a lot of interviews, and I am forever grateful for him coming on and sharing his wisdom. If you are joining me at Episode 70, then you may have missed this interview. So, I felt that on this 3-year anniversary, I wanted to re-share with you THE interview that started it all. And, Ian – I have you on the schedule as my interview for Episode 100. That would be awesome. And I thank you in advance.

For this episode, I caught up with Tobias Carlisle, who is the founder of Carbon Beach Asset Management and The Acquirer’s Multiple. Since our first interview on the Planet MicroCap Podcast on Episode 34, Tobias has written a book titled, “The Acquirer’s Multiple”, which I recently read, and wanted to discuss its contents with him. As he says in the interview, “The Acquirer’s Multiple” is an amalgamation of his first three books, and lays out in a clear concise way, as the title states, “How the Billionaire Contrarians of Deep Value Beat the Market.” The goal for this interview is to learn how some of the greatest investors beat the market, as well as understand even better what deep value investing is.

For this episode, I spoke with Doug Casey, Founder of Casey Research. Doug is a best-selling author, world-renowned speculator and libertarian philosopher with more than 40 years experience investing in the natural resource sector. His first book, “Crisis Investing”, where he discusses how to profit from periods of economic turmoil, spent multiple weeks as #1 on the New York Times bestseller list and became the best-selling financial book of 1980.
Since then, Doug has written four books, and has appeared on hundreds of radio and TV shows sharing his insights into politics, economics and investment markets. He will be a speaker at the upcoming Sprott Natural Resource Symposium in Vancouver, BC, July 17-20 – you can purchase your ticket at www.naturalresourcesymposium.com.
I was presented with the opportunity to interview Doug Casey, and I couldn’t pass it up. As a listener to Planet MicroCap, just remember, I enjoy learning about all different investing approaches and philosophies because, at the end of the day, there is no ONE way to make money in the market. Today, will you be hearing about a new approach to value or growth investing? No. However, the natural resource sector makes up a big component of what we consider MicroCap stocks, and Doug is someone that’s been investing this space for quite a long time. With that said, the goal for this episode is to share his insights on what’s worked for him when investing in this highly speculative market.

For this episode, I spoke with Karl Douglas, Chief Investment Officer of PPMT Capital Advisors. Not only does Karl run a multi-family office advisory firm at PPMT, he has also been a regular contributing writer to the MicroCap Review Magazine, and has unique insight covering the MicroCap Space. In the Spring 2018 issue of the magazine, we published his article titled, “Family Offices: What You Need to Know.” Since we haven’t really covered this topic in depth on the podcast, I thought this would be an interesting topic to cover and share with you all with the goal to learn as much as we can about Family Offices.

Last year, I hosted the first-ever live Planet MicroCap Podcast. To say there were fireworks among the panelists would be an understatement, but what made it special for me was the opportunity to have that dialogue and interaction with our audience in person. For our 2018 event, it was a no-brainer – we had to do it again.
For 2018, I had Philippe Belanger from Espace MicroCaps, Chris Lahiji from LD Micro, Sam Namiri from Ridgewood Investments and Travis Wiedower from Wiedower Capital on the panel with me this year. I chose this group because, not only are they entertaining, but they each provide a unique take on the MicroCap space.
We covered a whole host of topics, including: how they evaluate a new potential investment, what value investing means to them, what they see going on in the MicroCap space and their thoughts for the rest of 2018. I would like to thank Philippe, Chris, Sam and Travis for joining me on this panel, to everyone who came to the Planet MicroCap Showcase 2018, and look forward to seeing you all in 2019.
Thank you again for tuning in to Episode 67 of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, and please enjoy the second Planet MicroCap Podcast: LIVE!

For this episode of Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Connor Haley. He is the Founder and Managing Partner of Alta Fox Capital Management, a long/short hedge fund based in Fort Worth, Texas. Connor also is currently the #1 ranked investor on MicroCapClub.com. Having just launched Alta Fox this year, I thought this would be a great time to share his experience, why he started Alta Fox and his MicroCap investing philosophy.
As you will hear in this episode, Connor is very focused on understanding what his downside risk can be when assessing a potential investment, as well as making sure that it is a high quality business. These metrics are more of an art than a science, and the goal for this episode is understand how Connor breaks them down.
