For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Edward Chang. He is the Founder of Pledge Capital, and we met recently via Twitter after seeing he shared a recent episode of Compounders. After doing some research on Edward and his firm, Pledge Capital, I can't believe its taken me this long to find and have him on the show. As the title alludes, our conversation is all about hunting for compounders or companies undergoing transformations that could lead to a compounding scenario; the latter point being explored the most. I really enjoyed learning about Edward's approach and he shares a few case studies that support his thesis.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Harris Perlman. He is a Full-time MicroCap investor, MicroCapClub contributor and better known as @Ottermarket on Twitter. We've crossed paths at many events over the years, and stoked to finally get Harris on the show to discuss his passion for MicroCaps. As you will hear, Harris was a big gamer when he was younger, and while considering investing in the stock market, he notes that, "with investing, you want to play the easiest games possible", which ultimately led him towards his journey into investing in MicroCap stocks. Listen in to hear his investing framework, how the MicroCap universe has changed, various ideas and much more!

Ep. 196 - With Investing, You Want to Play the Easiest Games Possible...MicroCap Stocks with Harris Perlman, Full-time Investor and @Ottermarket

For this episode of The Investors Roundtable (#41), we discuss the aftermath since the new SEC Dark Stock rule took effect on September 28, 2021. Spoiler alert, we all felt it was more Y2K-like, but there were some interesting things that happened.  Joining us today was: Thomas Braziel, 507 Capital Twitter: https://twitter.com/ThomasBraziel Website: https://507capital.com/ Marcus Frampton, Alaska Permanent Fund Twitter: https://twitter.com/MarcusFrampton 

The Investors Roundtable #41: Anyone else felt that SEC Dark Stock Rule was like Y2K?

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Josh Young. He is the CIO of Bison Interests. I recently met Josh at our last virtual event, when he participated on Ben Claremon's 10-K club panel and pitched SandRidge Energy - panel available on the SNN Network YouTube Channel. If you've been following Josh on Twitter, he has been very active discussing oil and gas investing, the energy crisis, rising gas prices; and I wanted to be more informed about what the heck is going on (gas ain't cheap here in Los Angeles). We not only go into everything that's happening currently, we also answer all your questions that were submitted on Twitter. I really enjoyed our conversation because Josh gets into detail for folks who know Energy, Natural Gas, Oil & Gas well, and breaks it all down for those who haven't been following the news.  For more information about Bison Interests, please visit: https://bisoninterests.com/  You can Follow Josh Young on Twitter @Josh_Young_1: https://twitter.com/Josh_Young_1  Planet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

Ep. 195 - Running Out of Gas? Thoughts on the Energy Crisis and Oil and Gas Markets with Josh Young, CIO of Bison Interests

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Jon Cukierwar. He is the Founder of Sohra Peak Capital Partners. I recently met Jon at one of our virtual events, and as a fellow millennial passionate about Small-, Micro-Cap stocks, I had to invite him on. Jon recently launched Sohra Peak Capital this Summer with an investment process that focuses on his own 21-point proprietary investment framework. His background and passion led to what sets him and Sohra Peak apart: finding inefficiencies in Small-Caps, looking globally with a long-term time horizon. I really enjoy featuring new, emerging fund managers on the pod, and based on Jon's background, passion and clear focus, he's one to watch for sure.   For more information about Sohra Peak Capital, please visit: https://www.sohrapeakcapital.com/  You can Follow Jon Cukierwar on Twitter @JonCukierwar: https://twitter.com/JonCukierwar  Planet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

Ep. 194 - Long-Term, Conviction Investing in Global, Small-Cap Companies with Jon Cukierwar, Founder of Sohra Peak Capital Partners

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Derek Pilecki. He is the Portfolio Manager at Gator Capital Management. After a great recommendation by friend of the show, Rich Howe from Stock Spinoff Investing, Derek and I found a time to connect and discuss all things financials. We chatted about regional banks, Puerto Rico, consumer finance, and what it's like starting a hedge fund in the middle of the Global Financial Crisis. Since launching Gator Capital, his fund's performance has been stellar - 21.52% Annual Compound Return, and I really enjoyed finding out why.  For more information about Gator Capital Management, please visit: https://gatorcapital.com/ You can Follow Derek Pilecki on Twitter @GatorCapital: https://twitter.com/gatorcapital Planet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

Ep. 193 - A Deeper Look at Financials with Derek Pilecki, Portfolio Manager at Gator Capital Management

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Rick Rule. I've known Rick for my entire career in Financial Media, and whenever I have questions about what happening in Precious Metals, Natural Resources, Mining, he's the guy. Since I last spoke to Rick, he has stepped down as CEO at Sprott US Holdings, and has a little more time doing what he loves: Investing and Speculating. I asked Rick to join me on the pod because I just finished doing 100 interviews for the Precious Metals Summit - Beaver Creek, the best event in the Precious Metals space in my opinion, and I had to get his opinion on some of what I heard from management teams. In addition, we hadn't talked since the pandemic hit in early 2020, so I wanted to hear his takes on the silver short squeeze, Reddit investing, how all this has affected precious metals, and of course, taking up all the headlines of late, Uranium.

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with David Polansky. He is the Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Immersion Investments. David very recently launched in his fund, Immersion Investments, in June 2021, so it was a pleasure to welcome him on the pod to better understand his investing philosophy and approach. We spend the majority of our time breaking down the "Ideal Immersion Setup", which are companies that fall into one or more of the categories listed in the title of this episode. I had a great time chatting with David and excited for him as he embarks on this new journey.

Ep. 191 - The Underdog, Babushka Doll, Social Pariah, Ugly Duckling and Doubted Champion with David Polansky, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Immersion Investments

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I spoke with Tyler DuPont. He is the Founder and Chief Everything Officer at Augury Research. The title of this episode is "Not Your Father's Stocks" as an ode to, not only Tyler's podcast by the same name, but what inspired him to get into investing in the first place. There are many lessons we learn from our parents, and as a father myself, I can only hope my kids become a far better people than I one day. With that said, you will most certainly love how Tyler became obsessed with researching stocks and investing because well, his father was so bad at it. Tyler is driven to be the best he possibly can be and I'm thankful to his father for inspiring him to get after it the way he has and continues to with Augury Research.  For more information about Augury Research, please visit: https://www.auguryresearch.com/  You can Follow Tyler DuPont on Twitter @AuguryInvesting: https://twitter.com/AuguryInvesting Planet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

For this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I’m sharing with you the MicroCap Graduation Series: Barry Sloane, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Newtek Business Services Corp. (NASDAQ: NEWT). I've known and interviewed Barry as far back at maybe 7 or 8 years ago, and Newtek was actually featured on the front cover of our magazine, the MicroCap Review back in March 2015. The last 18 months have been especially interesting for Newtek, where, at its peak on June 4, 2021, since its March 2020 low, has gone up 331%, and as of August 24, 2021, up 215%. As the company is described, "Newtek Business Services Corp., Your Business Solutions Company®, is an internally managed BDC, which along with its controlled portfolio companies, provides a wide range of business and financial solutions under the Newtek® brand to the small- and medium-sized business (“SMB”) market." Back in March 2020, the company made several announcements on its involvement in providing PPP loans to small businesses and via the CARES Act, and Barry, as he will tell you, has never been busier. In this discussion, we cover everything from why Barry started Newtek over 20 years ago, how he loves being a public company CEO (as he says, 'you have to'), growing pains and much much more. Please enjoy! In 2019, I started a series on the podcast called the "MicroCap Graduation Series", 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.
