2024 In The Rear-view Mirror, But Not to be Forgotten as 2025 Signals Similar bullish Trends

Fresh off our Live Open Forum reviewing December 2024, we are welcoming 2025 with continued optimism that microcaps will continue to perform well, especially in certain industries.  While we didn’t do a full year review as part of the forum, a few days earlier I was able able to sit down with Bobby Kraft of the Plant Microcap Podcast for a focused MicroCap Year-End Review in which we dissected key developments in the microcap space over the past year.

By the way, at one point during my conversation with Bobby, I talked about the differences and similarities between Geoinvesting and the Microcap Investing Cliff Note Substack. I get a lot of questions on that subject, so I thought the year-end review would be a great time to touch on it.

My goal was to review the performance of microcap indexes and spotlight specific stocks where detailed research and information arbitrage gave us an edge in the market.

It also included an analysis of our growing interest in misunderstood stocks trading below $1 and how we are going all in in Information Arbitrage research to identify the companies that the market is unjustly ignoring.

About The Buy on Pullback Model Portfolios

Buy on Pullback Model Portfolios are aimed at swiftly capitalizing on mispriced opportunities in the market, identifying stocks experiencing negative or muted reactions to positive news or downside overreactions to negative news that we see as temporary.

Misunderstood company developments, emotions, or negative market sentiment can often be at the core of the mispricing, so the pullbacks often stem from investor overreactions and may not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals of the business.

Another Complimentary Video: Kevin Schoovaerts on Concentration vs. Diversification: Striking a Balance

On December 13, 2024, we held an Investor Insights Skull Session with Kevin Schoovaerts, founder of AtmosInvest. In this clip, Kevin delves into the debate of concentration versus diversification, sharing his own philosophy and experiences.

Concentration

He explains that he runs a concentrated portfolio of about 12-15 holdings, with his top three positions making up 40% of his portfolio. This approach allows him to go deep into his research while maintaining conviction in his best ideas, but he acknowledges that concentration requires a high tolerance for volatility and a clear understanding of one’s investment process.

True Diversification

Kevin points out that true diversification is not just owning many stocks, but ensuring that a portfolio covers varied business lines, geographies, and client bases.

He contrasts his strategy with more diversified approaches, such as Maj Soueidan’s MicroCap Quality Index, which includes over 100 positions to minimize risk while still capturing upside from multi-bagger opportunities.

Kevin stresses the importance of self-awareness in choosing a strategy, explaining that concentration suits his part-time investor schedule of 20 hours per week.

Initial Smaller Positions

He also highlights the role of initial smaller positions as a way to test ideas before scaling up, avoiding the pitfalls of overly broad portfolios that dilute potential gains. This candid discussion provides valuable insights for investors navigating the trade-offs between risk, reward, and personal preferences.

What is The Starting Five?

The ‘Starting Five Virtual Conference’ is an event series hosted by MS Microcaps, featuring presentations and stock pitches from various investors and industry experts. These conferences provide a platform for sharing investment strategies and insights into specific stock opportunities.
