Earlier this month, I was pleased to see our team worked hard to ensure that our July 2024 Monthly Open Forum kicked off right at the start of July. We’re committed to maintaining this schedule for future Monthly Forums, focused on bringing you the previous month’s highlights early, before rolling too deep into the next month. This timing helps our team focus on delivering more value-added research throughout the month rather than preparing for the forum.
I’m also thrilled to see an increase in attendance at our monthly forums from GeoInvesting members. It’s rewarding to see our efforts embraced by the community, and I hope this fosters more interaction and growth among us.
Highlights (Full content can be found at July 7, 2024 Weekly)
During GeoInvesting’s July 2, 2024 live Open Forum, when California Nanotechnologies Cor (OOTC:CANOF) was trading at $0.36, Maj disclosed that he was taking a deep into the stock. It operates in the emerging high-growth nanomaterials industry. While he’s still grasping the intricacies of this sector, it’s clear there is a case to be made for the company.
Their July 9, 20204 Q4 results were better than expected, with revenues of $983,000 compared to $302,000 the previous year,. Annual sales jumped to $3.3 million from $1.3 million.
It just so happened that Maj had already scheduled a July 11 fireside chat with the company’s CEO prior to the earnings release, so it was serendipitous to have brought the idea to members prior to the event via the forum.
The stock has risen 86% since bringing it to the table as a potential forum top stock pick.
Another stock pick is on the way next month.

During the July 2024 forum, a key highlight was our discussion about potentially selecting DATA Communications Management Corp. (OOTC:DCMDF) as our fourth ‘focus stock’ of the month.
The stock had recently seen a sharp pullback after it reported its first quarter 2024 results, missing analyst revenue estimates by about ten million dollars. However, this revenue shortfall is expected to be deferred to future quarters this year. So, DCM could have potentially aligned with our strategy of buying on pullbacks—capitalizing on temporary dips caused by investor overreactions, rather than investors paying attention to the long-term outlook of the underlying business, the concept which drives the construction of our Buy on Pull back (BOP) Portfolios. Speaking of which, BOP #11 ended the week with a return of 35.80%.

Buy On Pullback 11 Model Portfolio Return Stats as of end of June 2024.
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.
