This month, we are continuing our video clip and discussion series that gives 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 are continuing our video series, highlighting 3 full length videos that we believe are too good to be clipped.

One video we picked for October is salient because we’re at a moment in history when keeping your emotions in check is as important as ever.

We’re also putting a spotlight on replays of live management interviews we hosted for two companies – one for Richardson Electronics, Ltd. (NASDAQ:RELL), an electronic component/engineering design company hitting on all cylinders, and the other on a high risk turnaround restaurant play, Muscle Maker, Inc (NASDAQ:GRIL).

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.

This month we will be taking a more comprehensive look into some Studs from GeoInvesting, we will be analyzing 3 companies that have already seen significant upside since our initial coverage. However, that doesn’t mean that we believe that all of these stocks have reached their full growth potentials. 

So, let’s jump right in.

Our company of the month is a leading provider of innovative solutions to recurring problems to keep the air in the environment clean. We had the pleasure of interviewing both their CEO and CFO in a Live Fireside Chat this past month and we were happy to learn more about the company and hear their insights into its growth strategy.

The company reported blowout Q1 2022 results with sales nearly tripling to ~$85 million vs. the prior year, with an EPS ballooning to around $0.60 vs. a loss. We believe we could be looking at a real home-run here, even in the short-run. 

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new product brought to GEO by MS Microcaps (MSM).  This new platform will focus on building a single actively managed portfolio of our best stocks. It will entail executing a disciplined approach to interim gains when they are achieved. This should give you clarity on a more frequent basis to help to protect profits. The platform will provide 1) An Actively Managed Diversified Portfolio, 2) A Run to $1 Million Portfolio, 3) Research and Raw Cliff Notes, 4) MicroCap Information Arbitrage Tools. For those interested in learning more about (MSM) Active Portfolio, and our Run To $1 Million Challenge, visit MS Microcaps’ site

The stocks in our microcap Model Portfolios might get caught up in the capitulative mayhem in a macro sense, but we know that their growth outlooks, combined with their cheap valuations, will make for a recovery that we think will blow the pants off of their mega cap counterparts when this new cloud of dust settles. 

To distill it down just a tad, it’s easier to double a $10 or $20 million revenue base than to double a greater than billion dollar valuation. Furthermore, the potential drop in stock prices of these large companies is steep. They’ve already grown to near their max potential but many still have P/Es in excess of 50x to 100x, or non-applicable P/Es because they’re losing money, which in a literal sense means there is no bottom to the stock’s price until you get to the value of ip, customer base, plants, property and equipment. It won’t take much for the latter to crumble, nor will it take much for the former to excel.

Now, we believe the pendulum has swung to where earnings and P/E ratios will matter again. Hopefully, it will be the dominating factor in valuing companies as we transition from this bear market into the next bull trend. That’s how the environment was set up for the first 20 years of my career, where high-quality undervalued microcap companies were in high demand.

See a more comprehensive breakdown on the reasons we are taking a potentially more bullish stance on RCMT again in a FREE article we just published, “IT Staffing Trio – RCM Technologies, Inc., TSR, Inc., Mastech Digital, Inc. – The Trend Is Your Friend”

This article Illustrates that conference calls related to earnings press releases can have so much more information in them than the press release, aka Information Arbitrage. RCMT‘s conference call transcript is a clinic on how this rings true. In our article, we talk about some of the key points in the conference call that highlight the positive trends going on in the staffing industry that may help RCMT continue posting strong earnings performances in future quarters. We posit that RCMT could be worth as much as $34 If they can keep their momentum going vs. the current price of around $13 per share.

In January 2021, we saw markets getting crushed. I know it can be tough and depressing if you continue to obsess over every red tick. Don’t get down – now is the time to attack and focus on your best bullish ideas and get your pipeline ready as everybody else is complaining and capitulating. Start looking at stocks that are on sale because history shows over and over again that downturns don’t last forever.
