My guest on the show today is James Emanuel, Author of “Fabric of Success” and Managing Partner at Rock & Turner Investment Company. Quick synopsis of James' book: most businesses are mediocre at best, but a small percentage stand out as exceptional. One thing that distinguishes one type from the other - the management. "Fabric of Success" unravels the golden threads that run through all businesses, like: Apple, Southwest Airlines and more! In our conversation, James and I discuss these "Golden Threads", how "Fabric of Success" is different from similar books like "Intelligent Fanatics" or "Outsiders", and information that was a surprise for him when doing his research. "Fabric of Success" is available for purchase on Amazon.

My guest on the show today is Yale Bock, Owner of Y H & C Investments. As a Las Vegas local, Yale is all about assessing his odds in any potential investment, and in our conversation we discuss how he tilts the odds in his favor. I've known Yale for a long time and consider him a great friend. He does a ton of management meetings, loves turning over every rock, and I wanted to learn more about how he discerns which companies truly have a competitive advantage or moat.

My guest on the show today is Jacob Rowe, Founder and CIO of Rogue Funds. We met for the first time at my conference in Vegas, and invited Jacob on the show to share with you all his investing philosophy and strategy. Our focus today is special situations: I like to joke sometimes that most MicroCap investing theses are likely special situations, where you're making a calculated bet on an upcoming catalyst, for example. Today's episode, we cover quite a few examples of what makes MicroCaps and special situations synonymous.

My guests on the show today is Maj Soueidan, Founder and Editor, and Jan Svenda, Senior Equity Analyst, at GeoInvesting. Even though it's been a week to remember in Politics, its also potentially a week to remember in Small/MicroCap land. Both the IWC (iShares Micro-Cap ETF) and Russell 2000 ETF are up about 10-11% in July, causing Small and MicroCap Twitter/X to declare, "WE ARE BACK." Maybe we are, maybe we're not, but Maj, Jan and I discuss this most recent breakout. We discuss opportunities in Aerospace, how there's info arbitrage opportunities everywhere and more!

We discussed a number of stocks during our interview today, Maj and Jan also may or may not own companies that comprise their Tier One Quality MicroCap Index, please see MS MicroCaps and Geoinvesting for full disclosure.

My guest on the show today is John Givens, CEO of VirTra (NASDAQ: VTSI). VirTra is a global provider of judgmental use of force training simulators and firearms training simulators for the law enforcement, military, educational and commercial markets. The company’s patented technologies, software, and scenarios provide intense training for de-escalation, judgmental use-of-force, marksmanship, and related training that mimics real-world situations.

I first heard VirTra's presentation, I believe as far back as 2014 or 2015 at one of Ian Cassel's MicroCapClub Investor Summits, which I'll be attending again this year in Idaho. Since my first introduction to the story, the company has a new CEO, John Givens, who I invited on to discuss:

• History of VirTra and what he's accomplished since taking over as CEO

My guest on the show today is Maj Soueidan, Founder and Editor, and Jan Svenda, Senior Equity Analyst, at GeoInvesting. We're half way through 2024, and it's time to take stock of the year that has been. Quick teaser - in MicroCaps, it's mostly the same as how things ended last year. Having said that, we had a bunch to talk about: energy drinks, a few ideas and thinking about the rest of 2024.

We discussed a number of stocks during our interview today, Maj and Jan also may or may not own companies that comprise their Tier One Quality MicroCap Index, please see MS MicroCaps and Geoinvesting for full disclosure.
