For this episode of Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Maj Soueidan and Chris “Quoth the Raven” Irons from GeoInvesting.com. At GeoInvesting.com, Maj, Chris and whole team there are studying the MicroCap market on a daily basis for their newsletter: looking at every news release, reading filings, etc… So I thought, who better than to recap 2018 and look ahead at 2019 then Maj and Chris. The goal for this episode is to reflect on some themes in the capital markets that we recognized in 2018, as well as their thoughts on 2019.

Ep. 79 - Growth Runway vs. Moats with Thomas Bachrach, PFH Capital
Thursday Dec 27, 2018
Thursday Dec 27, 2018
For this episode of Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Thomas Bachrach, Founder and Principal at PFH Capital. I met Thomas at the MicroCap Leadership Summit back in September. We were at the bar debating whether investing in an airport in a third world country, and figuring out who would fly over to do the due diligence. All joking aside, I really enjoyed chatting with him and learning his ideas on investing and MicroCaps.
Thomas recently launched PFH Capital, a globally-focused investment advisor focused on, “micro and small-cap businesses with significant insider ownership, ample growth runway and healthy finances”, as it states on the PFH Capital website. The goal for this interview was to learn more about his investment philosophy and strategy.

For this episode of Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Sean Stannard-Stockton, President and Chief Investment Officer of Ensemble Capital. I’m always looking for new and interesting topics to cover on here, and I was doing research on potential guests for the podcast. I came across Sean’s website, IntrinsicInvesting.com, and had to learn more. It sounds like a combination of ‘intrinsic value’ and ‘value investing’, and as you will hear, Sean goes in depth on how he’s derived an investing strategy using this concept. While Sean’s firm is not MicroCap-focused, we try to apply this idea of ‘intrinsic investing’ for someone who has a MicroCap-focused investing strategy. The goal for this episode is to learn more about what ‘intrinsic investing’ is, as well as discuss a few articles and topics Sean and his team have written about on IntrinsicInvesting.com.

For this episode of Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Doug Mohn, Editor of NoCalledStrikes.com. I met Doug recently at the MicroCap Leadership Summit in Chicago, and I enjoyed getting to know him, as well as hearing his experiences regarding investing in MicroCap stocks. What is interesting about our conversation you’re about to hear is that, unlike most investors, Doug doesn’t mind illiquidity – in fact, finding revenue generating companies listed on the Pink Sheets is part of his criteria. Like most of the interviews you’ve heard on here, most of guests have said in one degree or another that there’s a natural edge when investing in MicroCap stocks because most institutions can’t and won’t get involved until these businesses mature. I would argue that Doug takes this notion a step further by looking at illiquid stocks that generate revenues on the Pink Sheets – most retail investors don’t start there. The goal for this interview is to learn more about Doug’s investing strategy and his journey looking for winners on the Pink Sheets.

For this episode of Planet MicroCap Podcast, I caught up with Chris Lahiji, President of LD Micro. Every year, the MicroCap investing universe gathers together during the first week of December in Los Angeles to check in with portfolio companies, look for new opportunities, as well as commemorate, celebrate and network. This year is Chris’ 11th annual LD Micro “Main Event” and I would consider the event an institution in our space. We always look forward to each and every year, and will be there in person, so be sure to say hi!
Because we are close to the end of 2018, I also wanted to get Chris’ thoughts on 2018: trends he recognized, highlights, lowlights and he even proposes some structural changes he thinks would incentivize more companies to go public, a common topic discussed for those covering the space.

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.
