Last year, I got into watching Empire type series on Netflix with a woman I was dating, Vivi. She was well versed in this subject and prodded me to watch “Roman Empire.” During season 1, episode 1, the series began highlighting Marcus Aurelius, the 16th Roman Emperor and a philosopher who ruled from 161 to 180 AD. He’s been described as the last great Roman Emperor.

Vivi and I ended up getting into a deep discussion on some of his philosophies. Well, Vivi actually schooled me!

Our pipeline of potential high-return, high quality microcap ideas is gaining momentum.

The market is undergoing a shift from investors favoring speculative “story stocks” to craving a value-driven approach, bolstered by the Federal Reserve’s assertive interest rate policy. This is leading to a risk-off investing environment.

We’re incredibly excited about 2 stocks in our pipeline that we’ve been following for a decade, both about to go through a new growth phase which should materially expand their valuation multiples, putting them in a position to attain multi-bagger status.

We are finally launching our 11th Buy on Pullback Model Portfolio. The first four companies are being added to the model portfolio, and we plan to add 1 to 3 more. Averaging our 12-month expected return of these 4 stocks translates to an expected portfolio return of 80.58%. In January 2016, GeoInvesting introduced the “Buy on Pullback” (BOP) Model Portfolios, 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.

On September 7, 2023, Ridgewood Investments Portfolio Manager Sam Namiri joined me for an Investor Insights Skull Session, where we delved deep into the realm of microcap investing, shedding light on Sam’s personal journey and the intricacies of his investment approach. We discussed the significance of networks and conferences in sourcing investment opportunities, highlighting the value of trade shows as fertile grounds for gaining insights.

There are lots of reasons you might choose to join a stock research platform like GeoInvesting. However, when it comes down to it, in the end, you are probably looking for interesting ideas on stocks that you might want to add to your portfolio or perform research on.

So, that’s why in this installment of the Monthly GeoWire, we are reiterating a new addition to our website – The Pitch Lobby, a concept we recently sent you some information about on September 9, 2023.

We don’t want to focus on short term returns, but it’s nice to see that the stocks included in the Pitch Lobby are performing nicely. Within less than 2 months, the Average return was over 9% at the time of our email, while the NASDAQ and Russell 2000 small-cap index were down 2.4% and 4.1%, respectively. The peak average return was 16.92%.

It’s fitting that as we cross the threshold to the 100th Weekly GeoWire edition, that we also crossover to a Monthly Open Forum format that we feel will bring more value to you. It basically revolves around honing in on the most important coverage of the prior month to get you up to speed on subject matter that we put the most time and effort into.

This doesn’t, however, mean that we are abandoning some of the staples of the forum, such as earnings coverage – it just means those stapes will be much more pointed. For example, of the 3 dozen earnings releases we highlighted in August, we spotlighted 10 of those in this past week’s event.
