While the 3rd quarter 2024 earnings flow took a bit of a break in September, we ramped up our events and were able to hold 7 that featured 5 microcap management executive Skull Sessions and 2 talks with investing peers.
On September 5 we also conducted our usual live Monthly Open Forum Event, where we reviewed the prior month’s activity in our coverage universe.

Aside from these, we published 5 GeoWire Weekly issues and I participated in a few xSpaces, the most notable being the Woodstock of Small- and Microcap Investing, Part IV. In this event, I along with several peers introduced myself to an expanded audience of investors. I pitched a stock (previously talked about here) that didn’t fit into all the criteria that I usually stress when selecting microcap stocks to include in my coverage universe, but certainly appealed to me on a “special situations” level.
On August 15, 2024, at the 4th Annual Semco Capital Networking Event in Chicago, Illinois, Bk Technologies Corporation (NYSE:BKTI) President, CEO & Director, John Suzuki, participated in a fireside chat.
In this interview, Maj Soueidan of GeoInvesting spoke with Suzuki about the company’s recent turnaround and new growth drivers. BKTI, which specializes in land mobile radios for public safety, has transitioned from years of financial struggle to profitability under Suzuki’s leadership. The company has introduced new products, such as the BKR 5000 and BKR 9000 radios, targeting both rural and urban markets. With a strong backlog and product development, BKTI is aiming for significant revenue growth, targeting $100 million in 2025, while also exploring opportunities in software applications for public safety. The interview also touched on BKTI’s plans to achieve higher gross margins and leverage the growing demand for their advanced communication devices.
The Semco Capital events are a significant opportunity for investors to engage directly with management teams, gaining insights that might not be accessible through regular market channels.
This event, organized by Scott Weis of Semco Capital, continues to be an important forum for microcap companies to connect with microcap investors. This is Scott’s 4th Chicago microcap conference event.

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.
