Just as in science, catalysts are the starting point for major change or action in life. It may be a whistleblower whose revelations lead to significant systemic change, or an enzyme that helps speed up a chemical reaction. 

In investing, however, catalysts trigger a drastic change in a stock's share price trajectory. And while no one can know the future, the prediction of catalysts to come can help investors profit over the short term. 

This could be new management, an earnings report, a new product/service announcement, legislative change, mergers and acquisitions, broker ratings changes, and for the short sellers out there, short reports. 

So in this episode, Livewire's Ally Selby was joined by Elston's Justin Woerner and LSN Capital's Nick Sladen for their analysis of five small stocks with big catalysts on the horizon. 

And for those looking for some spicy stocks for their portfolios, only one of these stocks is rated as a sell by one fund manager - and the other believes it is a buy.
