My guest on the show today is Griffin Marie, Vice President of Business Development at SumZero. We've teamed up with SumZero for a couple fun initiatives for the Planet MicroCap Showcase: VEGAS 2024: the Allocators Roundtable Panel and the "Allocators Power Hour", where we'll have allocators on a panel discussing their mandates and what they are looking for amongst the pool of talented Small/Micro/NanoCap buy side investors. Following that panel from 2pm-6pm we'll have space to host 1x1 meetings for Allocators to meet our buy-side attendees in 30 minute, speed dating meetings. We're very excited about adding all of this to our program this year, and I invited Griffin on the pod to discuss the importance of institutional validation and the growing interest amongst allocators to engage with talented Small/Micro/Nano-cap strategies. If you are an Allocator or Buy-side manager and you'd like to participate and attend the Planet MicroCap Showcase: VEGAS, please visit our event website: PlanetMicroCapShowcase.com, or shoot me an email at rkraft@snnwire.com.com.

My guest on the show today is my friend and frequent guest, Fadi Diab, better known as @TheGladiatorHC on Twitter/X. It's been well over a year since he's been on the show, and we had a bunch of topics I wanted to get his take on, in particular, how the Australian MicroCap market has fared for the Gladiator in 2023 and their performance relative to North American microcaps. Fadi is the eternal speculator and while some of you may run away when you hear mining, cannabis or better yet, psychedelics, he's running as fast as he can towards it looking for hidden gems.

My guest on the show today is Maj Soueidan, Founder and Editor, and Jan Svenda, Senior Equity Analyst, at GeoInvesting. I welcomed back my friends, Maj and Jan, to discuss their latest venture, MS MicroCap Cliffnotes and their Tier One Quality MicroCap Index. As some of you may know, we run an index as well called the Planet MicroCap Index that we use for educational purposes only to better understand how the general MicroCap market is performing with specific rules that allow for smaller, relatively illiquid names, growthy/pre-revenue/unprofitable names to be included. Maj and Jan launched an index, where, as it states on the MS Cliffnotes website, "the qualification of a stock to be added to the index is determined by quality, valuation, price momentum indicators, multi-bagger potential, qualitative analysis and market cap," and, "the rebalancing of the MSM index occurs on an active basis, not just quarterly or monthly." I think indices like this are necessary because you could take one look at our index at Planet MicroCap, and you'd be correct to think, that the MicroCap space has been in the doldrums for 2+ years. However, when you look at an index that assesses more qualitative factors, you'll see that the Tier One Quality index, for example, has a current return of 27.60% and average peak return of 76.84%. I wanted to better understand Maj and Jan's criteria for inclusion, as well as what differentiates their index from it being a "model portfolio."

My guest on the show today is Brian Bares, Founder, Portfolio Manager, and Research Analyst at Bares Capital Management. I had the opportunity to meet Brian at Ian Cassel's MicroCapClub Leadership Summit last year in Chicago, where he participated in a Q&A with Connor Haley and Ian. Brian has an incredible background and vast amount of experience, not just investing in Small/MicroCaps, but also building a small/microcap strategy from scratch. In our conversation today, we talk about what it takes to launch a small/microcap strategy, how that process has changed in the last 25 years and how to differentiate yourself in order to stand out in a now crowded field of talented investors.

My guest on the show today is Bill Chen, Managing Partner at Rhizome Partners. I met Bill at the MicroCapClub Leadership Summit back in October and was stoked to have him on the pod to chat real estate with him. I haven't covered publicly-traded real estate, or real estate in general, that much and thought it was time to change that up. Bill did the pod circuit last year, and he clearly has a handle on the latest and greatest in Real Estate; a few things we hit on today: delta between public and private valuations, what lower interest rates environment means for REITs, chat on a few pubcos, bear case, commercial and more!

My guest on the show today is Josh Young, Founder and Portfolio Manager at Bison Interests.

My guest on the show today is Sam Namiri, Partner and Portfolio Manager at Ridgewood Investments. Today's conversation is Sam and I catching up on the year that was in 2023, and the year ahead in 2024.

My guest on the show today is Caitlin Cook, better known as @DeadCaitBounce on Twitter/X, Head of Marketing and Communications at Hxro Network. This is a special edition pod because we had some breaking news - on Wednesday, January 10, 2024, the SEC approved the listing and trading of a number of spot bitcoin exchange-traded product (ETP) shares. Caitlin is my go-to person for all things crypto, whose sole focus is educating the masses about crypto. From when we worked on her podcast, The Deadcaitbounce Experience, almost every guest made the same point that one way to bridge the gap between early crypto adopters and traditional finance, or "TradeFi", would be when Bitcoin ETFs were approved by the SEC. Well, the day has come, despite the very appropriate crypto-nian (with a "c") social media blunder on January 9th, we now have Bitcoin ETFs, and Caitlin and I break it all down.

My guest on the show today is Shanoop Kothari, Co-CEO and CFO of LuxUrban Hotels, Inc. (NASDAQ: LUXH). LuxUrban Hotels Inc. utilizes a long-term lease, asset-light business model to acquire and manage a growing portfolio of short-term rental properties in major metropolitan cities. The Company’s future growth focuses primarily on seeking to create “win-win” opportunities for owners of dislocated hotels, including those impacted by COVID-19 travel restrictions, while providing favorable operating margins. The LuxUrban business model is a little different than your traditional hotel operator. The nuance, as Shanoop describes, is that they enter master leases with hotel owners, where they have control of the asset, just don't own the asset. We dive deeper into what this means, as well as: Why the company decided to focus solely on the hotel business Nature of LuxUrban's relationship with Wyndham; why they chose them over, say a booking.com for just the reseller aspect of the business Whether its getting harder or easier to get more leases; in essence, is it getting easier or harder to scale the business; and, Shanoop's 3-5 year vision for the company For more information about LuxUrban Hotels, please visit: https://luxurbanhotels.com/ This podcast was recorded and is being made available by SNN, Inc.

My guest on the show today is Lionel, Editor of Valorem Research Newsletter. I think Lionel (he'd prefer to stay anonymous) might be one of my favorite podcast guests: his appearances on Andrew Walker's Yet Another Value Podcast have to question all my life choices and perhaps re-evaluate getting a law degree, if only so I can totally understand everything he talks about. In our conversation today, Lionel and I talk about how and why he finds legal special situations so interesting, as well as high level overviews of recent cases he discusses in WAY more depth on Andrew's show, his overall take on anti-trust / M&A and his thoughts on the topic for 2024.

My guests on the show today are fellow MicroCap legends: Paul Andreola, Founder and Editor of Small Cap Discoveries, Jason Hirschman from Hudson 215 Capital, and Maj Soueidan, Founder and Editor of GeoInvesting. In this conversation, consensus was that MicroCap stocks in 2023, boring is sexy again. We spent 90 minutes talking about why. And, to be honest, we could've gone another 3 hours. So much quality back and forth, that at one point, I just sat back and watched Paul, Jason and Maj talk. I loved this whole conversation, and I think you will too.

My guest on the show today is Erik Conrad, Portfolio Manager at Peapod Lane Capital. I was introduced to Erik by Doug Porter from Acuitas Investments (thank you Doug!) and had the chance to meet him recently in New York. Erik is a self-described extreme value investor and while uncovering what that means to him, we started getting into his generalist strategy investing in Healthcare. We've been covering the bloodbath in Healthcare/Biotech here at the podcast, and so I wanted to learn more about how Erik is approaching looking at a sector that's been beaten down.
