#141: Trey Henninger on Entercom, Northfield Precision, and a New SEC Rule Impacting Dark Companies


Listen Later

Join Eric Schleien with today's interview guest, Trey Henninger, as they talk about Entercom, Northfield Precision, and the new SEC rule that impacts dark companies and small businesses. By taking a close look at the outcomes and probabilities close to ETC and the merger made with CBS Radio, he explains what Entercom holds for the next 12-18 months and tells us the technicalities on why he thinks owning shares from the company can still end up positively.

Summary

In this episode, Trey will also be getting into all the old news, the expected, and the good with Northfield Precision Instrument Corp. Listen as he discusses the company's performance during the pandemic, their ROI report, and how NFPC will seemingly be affected by the new SEC rule that targets dark companies. For Trey, once the new regulation comes into effect in the following months or years, going expert or grey may become an option to be considered for Northfield.

Going in further on the upcoming SEC rule, tune in as Trey explains what the regulation aims to do, what it requires from business entities, how it can backfire, and what it means to trade without a quoted price –a scenario that may just mean good deals for experts. For him, there are always as many opportunities in matters like these as there are risks in every leverage.
