This month, we are changing things up a little to highlight some useful video clips and discussions that will give you a glimpse into the personalities that have paved the way for many investors in how they approach different strategies to find the best stocks in the market.

This month we wanted to highlight a particular theme that is relevant in today’s market environment –  dealing with volatility and our belief that traditional value investing strategies are about to stage an epic comeback.

It’s ironic that company filings, earnings conference call transcripts, social media, letters to shareholders, data sources, and the internet have made it easier for investors to find InfoArb and use it to their advantage, but so many fail to do so. Why? Besides possibly not having a time to go through all these sources of information, now that more information is available than ever, it’s everywhere, so where do you start?

We find the conference call transcripts to be particularly valuable resources. It’s exciting to know that when companies report their quarterly earnings, the “accomplice” to great findings might be that not-so-well-attended live conference call. The call’s transcript will then reside on platforms like Seeking Alpha and Sentieo, which we happen to subscribe to.

We believe that stock ideas coming to fruition, especially as a direct result of many of the tenets we use to evaluate the fitness of an investment, are the bright spots when the pervasion of negativity slams the market. These tenets, or as we like to call them, Tier One Microcap Criteria, are at the core of our discoveries in the microcap investment arena. Maj and our new GeoInvesting team member, Sanjay Amarnani, discussed the top 10 of these criteria in detail.
