Globex Mining Enterprises Inc (TSX:GMX, OTCQX:GLBXF) CEO Jack Stoch tells Proactive's Angela Harmantas that the company utilizes a distinctive business model in the junior mining sector. Boasting a portfolio of nearly 250 assets, Globex adopts a versatile approach by engaging in deals across various minerals and metals, focusing on generating money rather than specific commodities. Stoch outlined the strategy of acquiring potential assets at low costs, enhancing their value, and then partnering with other firms that assume the high-risk development phase. This model has led to substantial returns, including a highlighted transaction where a $2 million investment was converted into $15 million in cash and a deal. Globex's asset portfolio is diversified, ranging from gold and base metals to industrial minerals and specialty metals, including a notable dolomite deposit acquired for minimal staking costs. The company prioritizes long-term vision, seeking opportunities overlooked by others due to market trends or commodity focus. Financially, Globex stands strong with no debt, ownership of all assets, over $20 million in cash and shares, ongoing revenue from joint ventures, and guaranteed revenue from asset sales. Recently, Globex has expanded its project range into the US, acquiring assets in Nevada, Arizona, and Washington State, with a willingness to venture beyond conventional mining trends. This expansion strategy reflects the company's capacity to invest in promising projects regardless of the current market's cautious capital expenditure. Stoch also remarked on the challenging sentiment within the mining sector, highlighting a cautious optimism spurred by recent increases in gold prices. #GlobexMining #JackStoch #MiningInnovation #AssetPortfolio #JuniorMining #GoldMining #MineralExploration #InvestmentStrategy #MiningSector #ResourceDevelopment #proactiveinvestors #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

Guest:Marc Bell - Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founderhttps://terranorbital.com/Hosted By:Austin WillsonMichael O'ConnorIt's Marc Bell, chairman and CEO of Terran orbital. How are you doing today, Marc? I am doing great. And so thank you for having me. Great to have you we'll first off the bat. I would love to just learn a little bit about Terran, like the name, the stories around it before we jump into too much long-term stuff.I just want to know about you guys. Terran orbital started, I started in 2013 and I started as a vehicle. To acquire companies that were working in space. I'm a lifelong Trekkie. So there was 10 years old, always fascinated with space, always wanting to go to space. At some point I realized they weren't putting middle-aged overweight Jews into space.So I decided to go ahead and start buying companies that I could build things to put into space that don't include myself. And it's been a dream come true. It is, we are now building satellites and we're solving problems from space. And we're the guys who helped invent the cube set. So we're all this whole new space revolution that everybody talks about.It's all our fault. And so all these new startups and everything else, they're all there because of the technology that we created, a company we bought called tie-back because was about. Austin has a question too. It sounds but I right off the bat, the first question I can think of which you touched on already, like the go space revolution since you guys are right in the thick of it, you've started it.When did this begin? Because we see at least for me, and I think other people in my generation, we see videos of the space shuttles, and that, that kind of felt like the big thing. And then things seem to sleepy for awhile, but it seems like there's been so much going on in the background to make everything that's going on now actually happen.What's been going on. Two guys, a guy named Dr. Jordan pug Suare who was a college professor and Bob Twiggs called professor about 13 years ago, invented educational demonstrator called the cube set. This was a satellite. You can hold in the Palm of your head. And the point was to demonstrate that you don't need to build big satellites to do big things.And if you think about it, you mentioned the space shuttle, your iPhone or Android phone that you hold has more computing power than the space shuttle did. And so things have changed dramatically. And so what used to cost a billion dollars to build? You can outdo for 10 million, but that was the only part of the chip sets costs a lot less.So cubes. Open the door, but you still had to get these things to orbit. Then came along space X and space X made it affordable to go to space. So between us making payload, making the satellite sheep and space X, making the rideshare. A whole revolution was created of small sets. And now that you hear people talking, the government talks about how 50,000 satellites are going to get launched over the next 10 years.And if you put that in perspective, you may be have like 14,000 thousands of satellites launched over the past few. Wow. Those are some impressive numbers. That's a lot of, that's a lot of stuff flying up into space around us is is that gonna be a problem? That's my one question. The good news is there's a lot of space in spaceyou have on earth. You have 40% of the planet is covered by land the, of. You have 3.2 billion cars and on a single plane in space, you have 43,000 miles of Y that 40,000 miles of planes. You have a lot of highways, a lot of roads of space that you could travel. And then what times objects tend to hit each other is when it's intentionally done.When people want to demonstrate how smart they are, that they can create space junk and. And for those of you who are listeners, if you look at the TV show quark from 1977, you'll get a good laugh, but that was a space, garbage truck. And that's what we need today to clean up all this trash that these guys created.But there is a, is it everyone says, oh, this is a problem. Not really a problem, a space situational awareness, which is what's called tracking space. Garbage has a fancy name for it is become a bigger thing. And the us, government's doing a very good job of tracking what's in space. And now there are technologies that we're developing that are similar to what airplanes have.Airplanes have today, something called T cast or traffic collision avoidance system. So you sit in a cockpit and if you're, if something's coming out of the planes going at you, it goes traffic, and then it tells you what to do, what to go, pull up. And if you ever hear the words pray, you're, it's all over, but no one would ever hear those words.But the goal is on a satellite it'll move. It'll be a lot. We use a lot of AI, so sell it. We'll know something's coming. It'll move out of the. It will calculate the trajectory and then I'll move back to where it's supposed to be and do it all on its own without human interaction. Like we have to do today on the.That's interesting. Okay. Yeah, because I had heard some concern, of course you gotta have the YouTube sensational videos, so I had, I'd seen one floating around and talking about, oh my gosh, we're going to be shrouded in a trash, trash blanket over, over Earth's atmosphere and the next 10 years.And I thought it was pretty sensational. So I figured I would bring that up and ask a real expert because I'm sure if anyone would know it would be the guy launched and all that. Spy satellites into space. So that's a reassuring answer to, to hear there's solutions to avoid exactly that, that issue.I, I do want to ask though about the name as well of the company Terran or orbital. Is there any, anything behind that name? I know has some some connotations. With any company I've started, I've always had a naming scheme of, for lack of a better term. And this case, I went for a science fiction, schema, Taran.Isn't our fire word for earth earthlings. Terror, I think is the basis of the word are these either the Latin or Greek or something for earth. And so we picked Heron in the, in StarCraft, they use the name terrines and it's moving to the typical Teranova TV show. And there's lots of reference Saifai references over the years.And prejudice. Our constellation that we're building was Remington will be predator. So predator that it gov trader predecessor. So we try to have some fun as we named things. And, but you'll see, like our stock symbol is LL AP live long and prosper. And we were very excited to do your second exchange, gave it to us.They wouldn't let us put Spock's hand on the side of the New York side, but we thought it was pretty funny. And and it's it's just, we try to make it, we're, we do very serious work here at orbital and we work mostly for the DOD and the IC community. Though we do some civil work and some commercial work, but we want our people here to have fun and enjoy working here.Yeah. It's also a good way to to get the suits on wall street to just loosen up a little bit. I give a little live long and prosper hand signal there on the exchange. So that's good. It probably brings some levity to the situation. It does. It does, especially with things going on in this world with Ukraine and everything else.And we've been very active over there helping the Ukrainian government. We are thrilled to bring a little bit of smile to people's facesAustin, by the way. I think he's. We might be frozen. It looks, he's looking frozen. So we'll just, we'll we'll let Ashley edit this little chunk out and then I'll continue and he should be able to hop back.So a follow-up to that, the idea of it seems like space travel, at least in my opinion has always been this this thing that gives hope to humanity. It's this thing. Sparks curiosity. And it's just, it's something that people from countries all over the world, cultures all over the world, love and love to see and experience and think about.And like talking about things like the Ukraine and everything, there's so much, there's so much bad, bad press all time all the time. And. But it seems like space flight is one of those things that just gets everyone excited. How did you first get into the industry? Was it a curiosity thing from a young age?Was it like just the thing that built? Cause it seems like something that everyone would love to do. I got very excited about space when I was a kid. It really started when I was 10 years old and got stuck somewhere in a hotel with my dad and it was raining outside and ended up watching a 24 hour star Trek marathon.And years later, I had a company called Globex or my first comedies and we ran 28,000 miles of fiber around the world as part of the original internet backbone. And we were the world's largest logical. And we were the second largest owners of data centers in the world. And we hosted some of them, we hosted some of Microsoft's original websites, Walmarts, regional websites.We hosted about half of the fortune, fifties, original websites back in the day. And but we couldn't reach, we, and by being the largest logical pier, what I mean is we connected to more networks than anybody else. So we connected to over a thousand ISP around the planet, but we couldn't reach ESPs in Eastern Europe.So we started building ground stations and buying satellite transponder space. And that's how we started connecting all these Eastern European ice IPS onto the global internet. And it was very a, and that was my first exposure into a space. And I've been enamored ever since. It's just been exciting journey.Yeah, definitely get that. What was that? What was that like transitioning to. In an industry setting in a practical setting, transitioning to using space to, to solve a practical issue. Cause it seems like there's so much talk around. I've heard skeptics be like, oh, we're still decades away from, I don't know, being able to colonize Mars and all those things.And that's fair, but it seems like there's some people who are just. Pessimistic about space being able to solve real issues in general, but it does. What's your kind of take on that. Look at all the things that have been invented that came out of space. Everything from God, perfect.Ball-bearings certain kinds of glass. There's this, all these man missions to space have CIF created all these technologies that we use today on a daily basis. How they're part of our society and and so it helps us innovate, innovating, and you are right people aspire and dream of going to space.They dream of it. We see movies and TV shows everything you're fantasizing about it. And it gives us hope, like you said, but there are ponds we can track globally global warm. We can watch icebergs in real time and we come and we can measure the depth of them and measure the decrease them day by day, hour by hour.If we choose you, can't do that with drones. You can't do that with planes. It's too big. A but you can do it from space and you can do it economically from space. You can measure crop yields from space globally. If you want to figure out where your there's going to be famine ahead of time and where you're going to have to move food suppliers around because you'll know in a wheat field, how hydrated.There's some amazing technologies that just are not economical to do from the air from airplanes, with drones, but our economical space, but also helps with things like insurance fraud. And, we can map out Florida the day before hurricane the day after hurricane and see whose roofs were missing before the hurricane using AI.So you, there's a lot of things that are good. A lot of good comes out of space and, human space travel is a desire and colonization of the planets and the moon and Mars and beyond is a desire. And you, we have to, you have to imagine there obviously, Other planets, like earth Goldilocks, planets around the universe.We're not the only ones. I'm sure if the other ones found us, they ran long ago, they went to Washington and they saw they left. They got scared, in general, there's a lot of a lot of dreaming to go on there.Definitely. And that's, I think that is something that so many people. I have, like you said, have aspired to, to go to space, to see earth from space, to, see the pale blue dot. And to the curiosity, like we've already talked about that, that inspires. Where do you see, we've talked a little bit about the past.Where do you see the long run of, we're in the long run show. We're always talking about the long run. Where do you see. In the long run. Even the medium term, I'm really curious even just about two to five years, but certainly 10, 20 years of where Taryn is going and where the industry is.Yeah. So we look at Taran, I don't want to be in an industry unless we can be the number one or number two player. And if you look at all the businesses, we visit my fifth unicorn, all the businesses we started in the past with rare exception, we've been able to be number one and number two.And we strive to do that. We want to do it right. We want to be the best. We want to be different. We want to create barriers to entry and what we do, and this case we're innovating, becoming Tulloch technologically superior to other people. And we're building something for a very well used to close to a billion I could build for 10 million and I can deliver a higher quality product for phenomenally less money.And so it's not evolutionary, but it's revolutionary, but we're working on become revolutionary, was creating the cube set that we did here at Tyvac evolutionary is what we're doing today tearing and going ahead and creating products that will continue to get cheaper and smarter and better.And we're going to see more and more applications with space today. You're going to see 5g, there was saying that's something everyone's talking about. Cell phones. You go, you're going to see it. You see a lot of internet things, Starlink, everyone's getting, everyone wants to buy the internet bandwidth for space, but you can see that bandwidth is starting off slow, and then it's going to get very fast.It's just like today. I remember when Globex, we used to sell up 1.5, four megabit connection for $999 a month to companies today, I got 2.5 gigabits of Google fiber in my home for $99 a month. It's a whole different world, and you're gonna see that in space. The images today you get from space are they're great and they're going to get phenomenally better.You're going to see more and more interesting images and more detailed. And eventually you'll be able to just take a selfie from space. You both to look up, say, take a picture of. You're sitting in the football game and I'll take a picture of you and it to your phone. That's technologically very doable.It's just about, as somebody wants to spend the money to do it, but that's something that's totally doable. Those are some wild applications there. Mark and I, it brings up some interesting questions for me. I, if you haven't noticed yet, Mike tends to be of the two of us a bit more on the the.Positive. And I tend to be a little more skeptical most of the time. My, my trash comment earlier, and then also I have another one coming up here, a question for you and in almost more than negative light. But with that excuse that I guess is my preface there. But with all that, This basically mapping of the earth.And you're just at being able to take a selfie from space, which is a crazy idea. What are the kind of Issues from a privacy and ethical standpoint that you have to think through when we're talking about taking pictures and mapping, people's property, because obviously we have the rules where your property lines don't extend vertically upward.But they only go up so high. So where's the privacy kind of layer come into effect. I know we've seen some interesting situations with drones, but satellites has just, that's a whole nother. On the other level, it seems because you have a lot more, ability to see things you may not be able to see in any other way, which again, not saying Teran is out to do bad things, but there are plenty of bad people in the world.So how do we think about this kind of moving forward as we map earth from space, we work for the good people in the worldthat, you bring up a very good question. There are lots of laws out there to what we can and can't. And when we can, and can't image a, there are lots of laws today that perk to protect us citizens. Not necessarily global citizens but it is a as they control resolution. So the resolution we can image and the resolution we're allowed to sell are two different things.So we can sell, we can image super high resolution. We, we can, but we can't sell that to the public. So they learn and that's when national security. Otherwise we'd just be reading the text on your phone as you type. And so it is a it does bring up some interesting questions on privacy.I have or I have friends who accidentally got taken a picture of. From a satellite of him laying on his backyard. And so we started a picture, we laughed very hard and he was almost laughing. And it's it is going to be, does more and more of these imaging satellites go up there.Then it's going to have to be some sort of regularly. To protect your privacy, because if you're out in your backyard, sunbathing, and let's say you were going for new 10 lines, you don't want that picture. And then you hop on Google and but I'm trying, I'm sure everybody would be imaging every pool in Vegas if they could do that.So there are privacy issues abound, and it's going to be, there will be somewhere where regulations, I think drones right now are the bigger problem because you can't get the go over your property. Shoot them down. You can't take them down. You can't shut them down. He came and put a drone net up, you can't.So it's a real privacy issue of having that, having drones over your property. And now, right now it's a much bigger issue from space then from space and listen. I see drones buzzing around all the time where I live and, we don't like it, but there's nothing we can do about it right now.Yeah, it is interesting. It's when we get into these new spaces and this is what we've talked about this in crypto, Mike and I have, it's just interesting, like you get into a space where humans haven't really had to think about these problems before. We haven't really been able to just hover above someone's property before it's it presents these interesting interesting problems to, to think through.But on the positive side, like you were saying, it also presents solutions that we. Ever imagined like the whole crop issue and being able to predict, okay, we're going to have a, have an issue with supply of food over here. Let's move some food around. Let's make sure that this country sells to this country to make sure they're taking care of that.That's something where I think it seems like the positives could outweigh the the cons, even though I am somewhat skeptical sometimes or can be less positive than a than Mike, I do think in the long run, we're, our human ingenuity is pretty astounding. And the fact that they took a satellite, made it into a cube that is a little bigger than a large Rubik's cube.Kind of wild to me, so I'm sure we can solve these issues. I believe, I always tell people, who privacy issue does come up a lot. And I tell people just don't do anything wrong. Don't do anything you don't want to see on the cover of the New York post. And you're doing okay. And as long as that's my metric and that's why I lived my life as long as I don't care, if it ends up on the cover of the New York post it's.Okay. And so you want to make sure that whatever you're doing, you do the right thing. And that, that is cause there's no reason why you should be doing something wrong and just live your life.A lot of freedoms in this country, you should have. Touching off of that. And we've mentioned a little bit of, the situation that Ukraine right now, but that for me looking at space and go individual privacy and the individual's perspective zooming out to, we've never really, at least since, since decades, at this point, we never really had as intense of a possibility of conflict.Between two space powers, astronauts from both Russia and the U S and the ISS. So it's like what do you think is there the capability for space war in the future? It's all scifi and everything, but it's something that definitely seems to be interesting, especially now that conflict is a little more sadly normalized.I don't know. What are your perspectives on the future of space? Defense, he's a space wars person. You said space defense. So we'll tackle it from both sides, and we have a very sophisticated military. That's doing some very sophisticated things and we live a very blessed life here in the United States.Because it's all the things that don't happen that you never read about that you never hear about is what allows you to live your life. Because if you knew everything that was going on, you'd never go to a shopping mall. You never go to a restaurant and you probably would leave the country for the rallies because of the phenomenal job that the U S government does in protecting us is that we are able to leave the life that we.And that's on the defense side on the worst side, I'm sure there's somebody somewhere that even the Pentagon building, trying to figure out how to build a death star. I totally see it happening. It's just know somebody's gotta be creative enough to say, Hey, we just build a battleship in space and that's it.But the reality is nobody wants to do there's no such thing as winning. Everybody loses at the end of the day, both sides lose because those are things as a winner, no matter what the outcome is, war everybody loses. And and what's going on right now is incredibly unfortunate in the Ukraine because there really was no need for it.And, and all these people are dying for no reason and it's not making the world a better place. It's just destroying. And and that's that's the problem. And, but, we have, we will, I would like to think the human race is becoming more evolved, but obviously not. And the space is becoming a contested domain, just like the Chinese are building all these islands in the south Pacific and it's taken, the Ukraine has taken away.China and Taiwan conversation, if you know that you're, if the Europeans, really got their act together and cut off north school, And bit the bullet and cough Russia's supply of cash. Then all of a sudden, there'd be some real economic sanctions with some real power who are still, they're still paying billions of dollars a year to the Russians in funding, or they're a military attack cut off their money and they'll stop.And, but the U S the Germans don't want to do that. And they can't cause they. And so the true lined off, because it's winter time, the waiting the summertime in order to stop a war, which is ridiculous. We have in the U S the Chinese economy relies on us, but the Chinese are, I've never really, I've never been aggressors.So you had a peaceful handover of Hong Kong, there could be people arguing about freedoms. But overall, it was a peaceful handover in the military. All of the lease expires for the British and the Chinese moved in, but that was their island. They were able to do that Sydney with Macau Taiwan is a different story.But I'm hoping that will be a piece of resolution at some point in the future and not a conflict which would decimate the island. Yeah. It's interesting. You were, you're saying. To think that humans are more evolved and it is an interesting hole to run down. But you mentioned earlier that, even if we are or are not, that's a totally separate question.If there were other. Life forms out there on other Goldilocks planets, and they found us first. You think that they would just run away and hightailed away. I tend to agree with you. I think maybe Mike would have a different opinion. What's your opinion? Ever the optimist, maybe I am, maybe I hope they say hello or something that I guess will.Yeah. If I was smart enough to travel light years, And I found this shit, the shit storm going on, I go right back there. There, there are better planets to go visit. So my question is underlying that people are always asking this question. Are there other earths out there? And you seem, you hinted.You seem to think there are. It could be very intelligent lifeforms up there as well. I am super open to the possibility. I would love to think that there's aliens out there we could interact with, I don't know if they would want to interact with us, but what is your after launching lots of things into space and studying space, what is your kind of thought process on that?In whole it's pierced, it's pure odds. It's like going to Vegas and gambling at a rillette table. There are only so many numbers, you're going to win. There are so many planets, so many. I only need to apply in at a certain distance from the sun to have you a Goldilocks planet, to have the right heat temperature for things to be able to grow.Now, keep in mind, earth is very young compared to the rest of the universe. And as a civilization, we're very young. So they're going to be civilizations that are millions of years old, that hyper sophisticated or ones that never got sophisticated for. There has to be somebody in other people that are out there.And they're not just going to come here and bring us. That's an old Woody Allen joke from years ago, but they are there is a it's just statistically speaking. There has to be other things going on. But, be careful what you wish for. They could bring a calm, their common cold could be a deadly virus to us.They could be the friendliest people on earth when they, we always make movies that they're always hostile because that's what sells tickets. You never have a movie that they're all friendly and happy go lucky. And they don't have, they have utopia, that would be nice. And they're just happy go lucky people that just want to hang out and have fun.But then again, we and then when, again, and again, I go back and, I look at what goes on in DC and I'm like, oh, they're already here. Andyeah, I think that's what I could agree with a lot of wild characters out there. That's for sure. Sometimes they feel a foreign to our planet too. Yeah, it's interesting. I always think of, I always think of. Twilight zone episode to serve, man, have you seen the Twilight zone where it's there?All the aliens come down and they're very nice and leave. All of these ways to just fix society. And then everyone's all the people are going to the alien planet and they're all getting eaten. That's a cookbook, the whole Sony pictures did a great short called the Chub chubs. If any of our listeners want to download, it's got four minute video, but these little parties, but furry, little funny creatures that just eat you.And but they're very cute until the youth. And so it's a very funny. Too funny. So I have to bring it back down to earth here to use it, to use a good punter. She'd never that one, mark. So you guys just went public and I believe it was through a SPAC. Is that correct? We did. We did. We decided there are three, as there are three ways to go public and do an IPO.A direct listing or a spec, and we've done it. And I did this back before my spec was in 2007 called enterprise acquisition. So $250 million back, we deice back to 2009 with 90% redemptions into a company that today is armor ARR in the New York stock.And I'm with art with AMR on a $25 million beginning equity base. That's what we started off. We've paid out over $1.8 billion of dividends and and returned on the $7 million PO or promote reparented return to significant portions of promote. So it was a hundreds of millions to promote it. So we did.We created a very good structure that was good for everybody and showed us a house backs can work and there'd be prop and work out. So in our case, if we had tried to do an IPO on February 24th, we would have had what's called a market out. Meaning all the books would have impacted. We've had that happen.I want to try to price a deal on the day of the Greek debt crisis. And we had a market out that day and didn't go public. And we wanted certainty of close. We created a unique $250 million exit financing arrangement with Francisco partners between capital industrial, Lockheed Martin and others that allow guaranteed.And we would have a positive back, which is what. And now we're no longer a spec and we never want to hear that four letter word again. They have a very bad rap but I keep reminding people it's just because they bought bad targets. It's all about the company they're merging with and has nothing to do with the vehicle.Interesting. Yeah, you were doing specs and you said 2007 was the first. Yeah. So you were doing them way before they were cool. They were cool in 2020 and 2021. And that was the hip thing to do was, oh yeah. We're going to go public through a spec and clearly it can be done and it just needs to be done.Correct. And w it's all about the target? So the, oh, they're all these companies that are emerging into specs that never should have gone public, especially all these new space companies that don't have a re don't have real revenues. They don't have a real backlog. Don't have real management. They don't have a real pipeline.They don't have real customers. They just have an idea that's called venture capital. And they should never have been allowed to emerge into a spec. And of course they're all missing their numbers. They're all there. They're being investigated. The FCC rightfully they are, it's just, they never, this should've been rules to allow companies like that.In our case, we announced our over $200 million. We are we are, we announced, reviewed our numbers for last year. I think we're the first space back to we actually beat their numbers. And so we are continuing to continuing to fly ahead on our work speed and we're doing exceptionally well.And and we continue to build our business at a rapid pace. What do you think? Is it that sets apart? The successful space companies. Cause it's it. I think it was mind boggling for me to see the rise of space X, how it went from an idea to real in there. It seemed like a very short time, especially if you look back at, very old legacy, Lockheed Martin, like you mentioned or the other companies that have been in aerospace for a long time, it's amazing to see companies come into the space realm, which is this incredibly capital intensive.Space and succeed. What do you think is what separates the ones that do succeed from the ones that, don't get the numbers. So let's take space sex as an example. So what seems like a short time flies Ilan started 20 years ago. It is 20 years in the making and everyone forgets in the early days of space.A lot of things used to blow up and a lot of things used to crash, but he stuck with it and he innovated and he kept building. So then I look at turnover. We started with young over 10 years ago and we stuck with it and we kept innovating and we kept going. And so we are, it's you learn from your.And, we're not to the end. You hear all these startups and he's still private and people aren't, people would always tell me that I should have stayed private and I should have enjoyed the being private, but we are in like Ilan we're in a capital intensive business. But because of our business that we're in, it's not very sexy in terms of.Talking about our customer programs, talking about what we do, because we do a lot of work for the national security. So it's not like we can tell you, oh, we're building this really cool satellite. And and I can see you laying in bed and every new Orleans had been with you kind of thing.You can't do stuff like that. And so we're trying very hard to we've taught the public markets, give us a better, easier access to capital to continue to expand. Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense. I also wanted to ask you, I know you mentioned, and I don't know if it was when I was researching beforehand or if we'd talked about this before, but you mentioned that you're the ones building the satellites, right?The keeps hats. And then we don't reduce that to anymore. We haven't pulled the cube setting. Those are okay. Got it. Okay. So you're building the satellites though. Not now. I'll start with that. We build satellites now, the size of your refrigerator in your house. That's got gotcha. But you're not though.You're not actually building the rocket that launches that into space. Is that. No Eland does a very good job of that. So he builds the rockets. We build the satellites. It's a very symbiotic. Gotcha. Okay. So the question I was going to ask is when it comes to launching other things, I know this is not necessarily specific to what Tara is doing, but just with your experience, when it comes to launching other things like human beings, we've seen a lot of human launches that.Super they didn't go very far into space, but they were definitely, out into space through blue origin, through space X, when it comes to those types of things, just space travel for humans, not necessarily launching technology up there. What do you think about the kind of the long run outlook for, say Mike or I hop it on a hopping on a space shuttle and going up and.Looking down at earth. What do you see, do you think that's just going to remain this elite class thing? Or do you think that's going to become a little bit more democratized? Do you think it could? The numbers are hard. I think. Space travel. The cost will continue to decrease.So it'll become more accessible people, but we say travel, right now. And you're on the road to nowhere because you don't. So they need to build like a restaurant in space or something cool like that, where you can get out, go have lunch, then come back. This is the. And rallies it's going to happen.Someone's going to build a space station, a private test-based station, and some guy, then you're going to get David Grutman from Miami. He's going to build a restaurant on it cause you're already down. So he's going to go build the rest of the restaurant is on a space station and he's going to make it happen.He's going to put a nightclub in there too, and then you're going to have a roof. Then you're going to have a real party. They'll let live Miami. And we were trying to, but it's going to be, it's going to, those are probably things in the realm of reality the realm of, going to the moon for vacation, that's a long way away.And to Mars or vacation, that's probably not in our lifetime. But in orbit. Yeah, I think it's the Costco. You'll see people spending money and you're seeing your wealthy people like Elan, like bayzos on others are able to afford and fund building private space stations, and then they got to figure out how to try to turn it into a revenue generator to sustain.I think that's a great point to bring up because it seems like. The idea of colonizing or, I think, like you said we're pretty far away from, cause I think people forget just how far even just the moon, how far away the moon physically is from the earth and Mars, especially as it is very far.And I think people can fall into a tendency to forget just how much potential there is enormous. That seems like a really, maybe an overlooked untapped idea. Is that kind of what you sense from a lot of people? Yeah. I use a lot of opportunity in space, but you also to remember spaces, dangerous, the odds of you coming by you, the odds of you coming back are not great.And that is that's the scary. Space is still a very dangerous thing. They haven't made, it is not as dangerous as you recall. I still more dangerous in your car. It's Niagara. And if you go to the drive to the airport is more dangerous than getting on the plane, even though everyone thinks flying is dangerous, right?You have a better chance of dying on the way to the airport, the fly on a plane. You're going to space is very dangerous. It's going to come down. It's going to become less than one, the written with more and more risk-free, you're still, strapping yourselves to audio, a few million pounds of fuel.And as far as lighting a match and you're wishing yourself luck that's a risk. It's a, it's quite a ride, but still it's your, the beginning. And sometimes they go, boom. But they will make it safer just like they made cars safer and they will, it's going to happen. And and then that's when things started getting really exciting.Yeah. It seems like there's a lot to look forward to as far as the long run of space and a lot to think about too, as far as, how do we. Work through some of the problems we talked about. And also what are the amazing possibilities that seems like they're almost endless, I'm sure there's some end point to some of these, there's a lot of solutions you can provide by getting essentially eyes in the sky, but more eyes in the space, so for our listeners who are looking at this area of the capital markets, obviously it's. Hot topic. It's always fun to talk about space and space travel, but for our listeners, how should they be thinking? Obviously this is not, we don't give financial advice here, but we like to think, okay, how could we be thinking about space, travel about space businesses?Like you said, it costs a lot of money. Just to put someone and, or something up into space right now. So it needs to be, there needs to be some sort of, from a business standpoint, there needs to be some sort of revenue driver there. And you guys are doing it from the defense side. It sounds like a bit, but there's also, other companies looking to do to supplement what you're doing.Elon Musk is building the rocket. So there's a lot of different ways to create revenue. How should we think about that from a business perspective, this whole space area? Part of it is yo, the innovation from space, things like scratch resistant lenses, ear thermometers, shoe insoles, and visible braces for your teeth, cordless tools, tap water filters, memory foam.Now satellite navigation all came about. From things in space, there was a company called maiden space that we had invested in that was on the ISS that actually made things in space, so there is lots of things in space that come out. Engineering-wise, there's lots of opportunities to build things in a zero G environment that you can't build in a gravity environment.Like I mentioned earlier, perfectly. No gravity, certainly there's certain things. You've been manufacturing space. That's easier and cheaper to manufacture on earth. It's just getting it back and forth right now is the expensive part where they'll fit up. That cost will come down eventually. It's, there's lots of innovate innovation and there's a science, basic science or learning more about our planet, as we're able to watch our planet in real time, we'll learn a lot more about what.We'll learn a lot more about global warming and how it's affecting us. We build more and more kinds of sensors to study our earth. And the goal is to, stop famine, figure out when storms are coming, sooner to do better weather tracking. It's, the list is endless, what can be done from space.And that turns into dollars for businesses. You have people like us that are creating businesses that are we're enabling companies are enabling the governments to go ahead and solve problems from space that you couldn't do before economically. Yeah, it sounds like there's, again, a lot of possibilities.I didn't even think about manufacturing in space. That would be totally different than manufacturing with gravity. That's just blowing my mind right here. Zero gravity would be a completely different you'd be able to build completely differently. And I'm sure, probably like you said, things that you couldn't build here on earth, where you have to deal with gravity because that has to be factored in everything.That's very interesting. It's great to hear that that you have such a positive view. You keep saying it's going to get cheaper. The costs are going to come down and I have to agree with you. It seems like just what we've seen. At least in my lifetime, and I'm not that old. What we've seen is just spectacular as far as the ability for.Things to be gotten into space and come back. Sometimes they blow up, like you said, but most of the time not. And that, that sort of long run optimism, I think can definitely help with this innovation here. It's pretty mind boggling to think that not, just flight in general is so new.I've ever seen a chart, like showing human progress and it's like the Wright brothers. And then it's oh, first space launch is like very shortly after in the grand scheme of things, which is mind boggling. And I I think I'd say as we're running a little bit low on time here, I do have one question that I really want to ask, which is I've heard a lot of people draw comparisons.To computing and how, we've seen computational technology gets smaller and more powerful and I've heard people say, okay, the space is going to be similar. It's going to go on this. This upward trajectory. Do you see that as a good analogy or is it different? Is it is it more complex?It's going to take longer to move up that slope? I think you're not seeing things moving at a very rapid trajectory because people are in governments are investing a lot of money to make them. Before there wasn't a lot of investment that went on to make things change. Everybody was happy for 50 years with the status quo.Now it's, everything's changing and everybody's everyone realizes you can actually do a lot more, a lot cheaper and a lot faster. And we're seeing, I visit a time when you'll literally be able to order a satellite on Monday and get it on Friday. And that, that is, so that is a desire of many to have satellites on.Wow. That's incredible, mark. Thank you so much for infusing. At least me and I think you Austin, as well as some optimism on the long run of space, and it's just incredible to even just think about it. Thank you very much for having me today, gentlemen.

Hey, everyone,   Michael: Welcome to another episode of The Remote Real Estate Investor. I'm Michael Albaum. And today with me, I have Mariusz from Micro Cap Explosions. And he's gonna be talking to us today about how he utilized micro cap stocks to become a millionaire. And what are some things that we as everyday individual investors can look out for to do the same. So let's get into it.   Hey, Mariusz, thank you so much for taking the time and joining me today. I really appreciate you coming on.   Mariusz: Yeah, thank you very much Michael.   Michael: My pleasure. So you've got kind of a unique background and have done quite a lot of things both in real estate and the stock market. So for all the listeners who don't know who you are, can you give us a little bit of a background on? Where did you come from? And what have you done in the real estate and stock market sectors?   Mariusz: Okay, so yeah, it's a little unique. I, I am a full time investor right now full time micro cap investor focused on small companies. So mostly in the stock market, on the secondary exchanges, which I will get into more in a minute. But I started off in real estate. Yes. So I graduated college in 2003. And that was around the time where the Poor Dad Rich Dad books were coming out. And so he kind of got me interested in real estate, I read them and I was like, Yeah, I want to be financially free. But of course, I didn't have any money. So I figured what the best way to start in real estate, it's to kind of learn how to value real estate. Okay.   So I became a real estate appraiser. And I did this residential appraising and then I moved up to commercial real estate and I appraised apartments, office industrial, mobile, home parks, you know, anything associated with income producing properties. And then at some point, I went into the broker side, so I worked in a group under in Marcus Miller chap that sold apartments in the Midwest. And so I worked there a little bit. And then, but during this entire time that I was doing real estate, I was also investing in the stock market, learning about Warren Buffett, and, and when the financial crisis hit in 2008 2009, I, I said to my boss, I'm leaving, I want to go full time into the stock market, because I see opportunities. And, and I didn't really have the passion for real estate the way I did for, for the stock market investing. So I just, you know, left the industry, but there's so many similarities between between them, but that's kind of like, you know, a little shot this summary.   So, from 2009, literally, January 1 2009. That's what I entered the stock market. And so now it's like 12-13 years. So I started it with 10,000. At that point, that was actually from a sale of an apartment. I had a and then so over this 12 year period, that 10,000 I turned it into six, 7 million now over this, you know, 12 year period?   Michael: Holy smokes, have you calculated what that return is, in terms of percentage, it's insane.   Mariusz: You know, I don't really I don't really calculate the percentages, because in the in the hedge fund world, financial world, everybody likes to say, Oh, I do this much. This much return per year, per month, you know, I don't really look at it. I don't compare myself to the market. Because when I do compare myself to the market, that's when you do stupid things like, oh, you know, I need to keep or how did I do this month? It's just like, forget it. I don't care. I really, people are really surprised that I don't look at the market in general and how I do and I really don't I have no idea what the S&P is doing, how much did How would you know what was in the other quarter? Because I am much more patient, I am much better investor, if I just focus on myself my ideas, you know, and if I beat the market, one quarter, or it doesn't matter to me is so yeah. So I couldn't even tell you. I just know, you know, what I started and what I have, and, you know, I don't look at it like that.   Michael: Oh, that's awesome. What a unique perspective. And so you were mentioning that you are a micro cap investor. Can you explain to our listeners what that is?   Mariusz: Okay, when everybody talks about the stock market, they talk about NASDAQ, s&p 500 New York Stock Exchange just CNBC, you turn it on, Apple Tesla Gamestop right. those popular names, that's what they think of the stock market. But people don't realize that there are many, many different exchanges out there, not just NASDAQ, not just New York Stock Exchange. And there are secondary exchanges that cater to maybe smaller companies or venture companies. And, for example, OTC markets in the US, it's not even an exchange, or TSX Venture, Toronto Stock Exchange venture or Canadian stock exchange, or AIM in London, those exchanges a cater to smaller companies that wouldn't qualify to be on NASDAQ, or maybe companies that are international and they want to access North America.   But their secondary exchanges and not many people pay attention to them. And when you're talking about smaller companies, anything between like 100 million market cap? They are they are hated and frowned upon by the financial industry. There are penny stocks don't touch them. They're risky. And that. So those companies don't get a lot of attention. And, and to be fair, I would say yeah, 80 to 90% of these companies trading at these exchanges, I wouldn't touch either because you know, they might be looking for gold or trying to find a cure for this or that or, you know, cannabis or you name it. Yeah, I wouldn't touch those companies.   But among those 10 to 20 of percent of the companies, there are some real, really interesting companies there might be up and coming. But they have they have revenues, they have real customers, but nobody's paying attention to them. Nobody is paying attention to them. And I can take my time, study them, figure out what's going on. And maybe they are on the way to to NASDAQ maybe they are in three years going to upload or whatever, why can get them when nobody's paying attention. And then when they do come on NASDAQ, you know, they're gonna get repriced and I feel like being in that space. I feel like I am, you know, playing a game that's easy to win. Because think about, and it's not that I want to be in the game, I am there because I have very little competition, because what's my competition? Retail, retail investors or institutions? Right? These are the two entities, right?   Well, what's retail doing? Well, they're chasing Tesla, GameStop, Bitcoin, right? Apple, Microsoft, I mean, that's where they're, they're chasing that they're busy. Institutions. Well, institutions are in the game of gathering assets under management, because they get paid a percentage of what they manage. So in order for them to make money, they have to manage lots, lots, lots and lots of money, billions. And if you manage billions, what are you going to go and find this tiny little thing? $10 million? Market cap? No, because you would have to find like, 1000s of those companies, and there is not 1000s Of those, there's maybe a handful of interesting opportunities, but you too big, you're too fat, you have to go after the big ones. So that, so retail is out, institutions are out. And like who is there? Yeah, some mom and pop investors or some micro cap investors, but there's not a lot of them. So right away from the start, I am playing a game where there's barely any competition.   And if I do the, if I play the game, right, if I choose the right companies, if I do the right work, and then then, you know, my chances of winning the game are very high compared to playing where everyone else is playing. What kind of advantage do I have investing in Microsoft when there's 60? Other analysts looking at it? Zero. Can I get on the phone and get to see on the phone? Absolutely no chance. But with the smaller companies, so many times? They don't they don't have any analyst coverage, zero, absolutely zero. And then I can pick up the phone and the CEO will answer the phone. And it will help me and answer the questions that I need answered.   Michael: And so when you're picking up the phone and calling these people, what kind of questions are you answering? I mean, can you give us an idea or someone who's interested in kind of following in your footsteps? What kind of due diligence what kind of research is helpful to do if someone doesn't even know where to begin? If someone's ever invested in as Tesla, you know, how could they go after one of these micro cap companies?   Mariusz: Okay, so first thing, what I'll do is, let's say I'm interested, and that's what I did with, I'll go through every company on the exchange, I'll go like recently, I went to the Canadian stock exchange, and there's only there's only like four 700 companies listed on Canadian Stock Exchange. And, and when I say Canadian stock exchange, people think oh, it's Canadian companies. No, it's not Canadian companies. It's most of the companies like they serve you, us. They have stores or clients in the US, they just trade on Canadian Stock Exchange because the listing fees are so low compared to NASDAQ and they are at the development stage or where they are. They would rather pay $250,000 to be listed there now versus going on NASDAQ and spending million or two, so it's but they might be US companies.   And so I went through every company 700 one by one. And because like I said, 8080 to 90% are something that I'm not interested. So if it's mining or oil and gas, like, No, thank you, or if it's cannabis, no, thank you, or we're gonna find a cure for cancer. Yeah, right? No, no, thank you. So I go go through them, you know, one by one and eliminate the ones that I know I'm not interested. And then from from that 700, I narrowed it down to maybe like 50. And then from that 50, I'm like, okay, these are real companies that have real products, real customers. And then let's say I have, you know, narrowed down to five or, or two.   So, so then at that point, I'm like, Okay, I like these companies. Now, I want to know, what they are about. So of course, I'm going to read what's publicly available. But that's not enough, in my opinion, with the smaller companies, because let's face it smaller, they are riskier, right? So if the industry says it's toxic, and this and that, okay, they're riskier, so I need to do more work. So after reading the public information on these companies, I will get on the phone, and I will call the customers, I will call the customers and say, Hey, why are you using this company? You know, what kind of problems? Is this product solving for you? How does it compare to the competitors, so I'll find out firsthand from the customers why they are using this product.   Now, if the product is good, and the feedback is great, then I know, okay, therefore real, therefore real. And now I understand what's going on. And of course, I will call the management, I will usually talk to the CEO, at few board members, current or past directors, I'll try to go to LinkedIn to find some employees, former employees are good, because they'll tell you all the dirt that you know. So you know, after you, you get on the phone, and you talk to us individuals, you really start to learn the story of is this company really special? Is there something there that I should get involved in? And this is the kind of research that we'll do on these companies?   Michael: That makes total sense? And how do you find out who their customers are and get their contact information? I mean, what does that look like?   Mariusz: Well sometimes it's easier than others, because usually, sometimes they will list in the description of the business, they will list what kind of customers they have. Or sometimes you just know who the customers are, because you can Google them. Or maybe there's not that many players. So it's, you know, there's ways but it's not always the same way. Like for example, recently, I was looking at a company that is in the business of providing software for governmental agencies, to help them manage like health safety for restaurants. So, you know, think of government agency that has to make sure that all the restaurants comply with the regulations?   Well, it's not that hard to get a list of health inspection agencies in the United States. And you just, you know, call one by one and see who who answers the phone.   Michael: Interesting. And then when you're calling the company members themselves, board member CEO, what does that script look like? You say, Hey, I'm a potential investor, I'm interested in buying your stock. What does that look like?   Mariusz: That's pretty much it. You I call them up and I say, Hey, I'm looking at your company. This looks interesting. You know, tell me about it. Me sell me on the idea. Tell me how you got involved in the company. What's your story? You know, is there anything I'm missing here? And any usually, usually successful people, you might think that they're busy, too busy to talk to you, but they're kind of lonely. Like, they're just out there running the company, and someone calls them out of blue. Like, they'll talk to you. And yeah, like, I barely had anyone that didn't want to talk to me, and they'll talk and talk and talk. And then the next thing, you know, you have their cell phone number. So when you have questions, you can just call them and, and you know, it's about like establishing the relationship.   You, you first. It's amazing what you can learn, especially with the small companies. And I'm not saying like you're trying to get some kind of insider information. You're not, you're just trying to learn about it. But come on, you're having a conversation, right? Like, I don't know what you can tell me. He doesn't know what he can tell me. You always learn more than you should.   Michael: Yeah, yeah. No, I that's what I found in my past career. Working as a fire protection engineer, if you ask open ended questions, it's amazing what people will share with you, especially if it's a good conversation, if it's a good working relationship. You're so right. And I think that people don't give other people enough credit for what they might share. So that's, that's a really interesting tip.   Mariusz: Yeah. And you know, when you read about when you read about companies on paper, that they, you know, they tell you what the lawyers allowed them to tell you. And but when you actually phoned somebody up, and you really get to understand the strategy, they're thinking, Where are they going, why are they doing this? It's just, it puts the whole picture together the whole thesis, but by doing those kinds of work,   Michael: It makes total sense. But submersion. Do you square with the fact that you have your own opinions, biases, and then if you're getting the CEO on the phone, I would imagine that most CEOs are convicted, and are semi convincing that their business idea is a great one, and it's going somewhere, Otherwise, they wouldn't be the CEO. So how do you square those two with each other?   Mariusz: So So that's, that's why I'm talking with either individuals, like, you know, the directors or, or the customers, or, or even the competitors. Because like, recently, for example, I call I call this I didn't term this, but it's called a scuttlebutt research by talking to the individuals that so, so we have this company that recently came out on my public channel, Globex, Globex. And what they have is a is a private email and messaging application that like, doesn't do any data mining, no big tech hosted in Switzerland. So you know, everything against, you know, data mining. And so, when I first started researching this company, I sent out an email to my group at micro cap explosions, which is the website that I run.   And I said, Hey, you know, I don't know much about this space, but some of you guys might be in this space. So help me and also, my girlfriend's brother is a security expert. So so I figured I would get some feedback. And oh, my goodness, 20 people give me feedback, any, and you couldn't have two people agree on the same thing. Especially when you get two techies in a room talking about open source is better or closed source is better, or this is like, Oh, my goodness. But that's what you deal with as an investor is like, you get all of these feedbacks, good, bad average. And then you have to decide on your own, from all that feedback from the CEO selling on the company, from this guy telling you this is horrible from this guy telling you it might succeed, you have to make a choice, you have to make a call.   And then from that, what I realized that at some point is like, Okay, I'm not, there's no way I can figure out if the technology is the best, or this or that there's no way. But what I can't figure out is whether people are going to buy the product, and what is going on through the head of the people that are buying the product. And if they're gonna buy the product, if the if it solves their problem. That's all that matters. Because the critics do not generate revenues. It's a customer to generate revenue. So it's like, if nine people are complaining and don't like it, but one that one buys it, will all I have all all the company has to do is find those ones, right? And then and then everything will be fine.   Michael: That's such a great insight. That's such a great insight. So how does someone get started in this if they have a full time job, because they can go invest in REITs passively, they can go invest in the stock market passively. But it sounds like this, there's a little bit more legwork a little bit more research involved. So how does one get started doing this kind of work?   Mariusz: Well, I would say, I would say study businesses. That's number one. Because I'm not really, I don't really care what the company trades. As long as the business is good, the business is going to do well. So study businesses, figure out what businesses work, what is a good business? What is an average business, what is a better business? And start with that. Because if you go, if you go to the secondary exchanges, like you said, if you pick up the phone, every single CEO will sell you, and you will think is the great idea every time. It's like, you know, watching a commercial and buying everything that you see on TV.   So you kind of have to know, you know, you have to know what is good, what has potential, and, you know, probably should probably have some mistakes be under your belt too. But yeah, it definitely, this kind of investing definitely is more, it takes more work, but it's more rewarding at the same time. So like if the best way to passively do it. I'm gonna, you know, plug myself in here is you know, my website microcapexplosions.com. I mean, I share that research with my people. So, so they, they get the benefit of my research. And you know, of course they pay me for it. But if you want to do it on your own, you know, study businesses and then go to these secondary exchanges and study to come look at the companies one by one, don't screen. Forget about screening, just look at them one by one, it's like 700 of them, you can look at 700 companies when 90 90% of them are junk and you're just gonna throw them away just after looking at them. So it doesn't take that long, but But it's definitely worth it if you if you want to put in the work.   Michael: Okay. And of that 80 and 90% that you think is junk. I mean, I know you mentioned cannabis oil and gas mining. Are there other sectors that are definite non starters for you or are ones that you think specifically Yes, these are these are you No, always gonna be a go for you.   Mariusz: Well, I like I like to look at, I like to own companies that are there are decent. So in other words, what are good businesses? Well, businesses that have recurring revenues, they're better than the non recurring revenues, because on January you don't start from scratch. So that's that. I like businesses that have some kind of switching costs once a client signs up. They know it's a little bit painful to switch. I like businesses that just kind of like Warren Buffett talks about with Moats. So they have some kind of brand, brand awareness, and maybe that brand is getting better and better and better. Or maybe they have what's called the network effect, as more people use the service more others want to use it like like auctions, you know, you go to auctions, when a lot of people are using the auction, you want to sell it in action when there's a lot of buyers, so, and I like also businesses that are not capital intensive. So in order to grow revenues, it doesn't cost that much.   So that's one of the things that turned me off from real estate is that it's so capital intensive. If you have a four unit apartment building, and you want to grow that revenue, well, you have to buy another apartment building or you have to add units. Yes, you can raise price, of course, you can raise price, but there is limit to it as so it's capital intensive. And yes, you can leverage and borrow and all that. But it's capital intensive. And if you compare it to the company that I talked about Globex, for example, which has an email, messaging, communication, well, they have a server in Switzerland, okay. It doesn't matter, they can have 100,000 people on it or a million people. It doesn't you, they don't have to get another server when they get a million more users. They just, you know, they might at some point need another server, but it's very scalable. And it doesn't cost that much to grow revenues.   So so these are the kinds of businesses that I look for. So I've done it for so long that when I look at a business, I can tell right away, well, is it recurring? Is it a good business? Is it a is it an average or decent business? And so yeah,   Michael: Makes total sense. And you mentioned that real estate is so capital intensive, and I agree, it oftentimes can be, do you see the two asset classes, stock market and real estate as totally separate and mutually exclusive? Or are you finding that it's easy enough to invest in both of them simultaneously?   Mariusz: I'm actually, so I started off in real estate, then I went to the stock market. And now I'm looking back at real estate again, because it has a place in somebody's portfolio, you know, I would like to have I like mobile home parks. And actually, next week, I'm going to California to look at some mobile home parks. Because I would like to create a revenue stream, take some of my profits that I made in the stock market and put it into more like real assets that can generate some income.   And so so it has a place but I think where people go, you know, wrong with this constant debate. And actually, in my first book that I wrote, why are we so clueless about the stock market? There's a chapter real estate versus stocks, which is better? And the answer is there is not that one is better, because stock market is just a vehicle to own own particular businesses. And real estate is also a vehicle to own a business. If you own an apartment building, that's your business, your tenants are your clients, you have expenses, that's your business, and you own it privately. Okay.   Now, in the stock market, you can also own real estate publicly, right, like REITs, you can do that you don't have the same control. But it's the same thing. So people focus so much on it. And I say, it doesn't matter if it's public, or non public focus on the business, you can lose money in real estate, if the tenants don't pay you, especially when you have a lot of debt. So don't think you've saved there. Just focus on good properties, whether it is to flip them or to renovate them, or so many people use different strategies in real estate. So you know, focus on what you do focus on the business and the stock market. There's no such thing as stock market is bad. There's some companies that I wouldn't touch and others I would so I focus on what's good, and not about, you know, how it's being owned. It's just a vehicle.   And, you know, I find it funny, going back to a little bit this whole discussion with micro cap stocks, you know, how the industry is like, stay away, it's, it's a penny stock. So picture, picture owning 100 unit apartment building, or 50, or whatever, you have an apartment building, and it's worth, you know, $2 million, or let's say $10 million. Okay, so, there's so many people out there that have their entire life savings, their entire retirement, owning apartment buildings, that's their retirement, that's their entire life worth of work. That's okay. That's okay to own a $10 million apartment building or portfolio of apartment buildings. But if you put that apartment building into public vehicle that's trading on an exchange now $10 million that's toxic because it's microcap. Now you can't touch it, because you're gonna go bankrupt. Lalala is the same thing.   So how can you say that, you know, $10 million worth of assets in a private ownership, that's a smart thing to do. But if you own a $10 million in a public market through a stock now, that's a penny stock, you're an idiot, you shouldn't touch it. See how crazy and ridiculous this is?   Michael: Yeah. But could it be argued that the penny stock or the stock at really any stock could go to zero versus the real estate? Can I mean, in theory could never actually get to zero?   Mariusz: Well, I mean, if a business fails, you can go to zero. And if your if your tenants stopped paying you guess what the real estate is gonna be there. But your ownership, your equity can go to zero, because the bank can take it away. So don't think you're safe. Just because, you know, a building is still there. Are you going to be the one owning it?   Michael: Right? Now makes total sense. Makes total sense. Mariusz, I'm curious, can you share with us some of your your big wins that you've had in the micro cap, stock picking world? Since you've been? got started?   Mariusz: Yeah, so I'll share with you a big win. And I'll share with you what I'm currently doing for hopefully a future win. So the biggest one I had was a company called Oracle, where I, I bought it for four cents. And today, it's almost $3. And I still hold the shares. So almost 100 times I put like, I think 80,000 into it. And today, it's like six or 7 million just that one position. And I still hold the shares. And so it's kind of interesting, because it has Similarities to real estate, because Oracle is a is a company that owns a copper project. Okay, so it's a real estate. It's, it's, it's a copper project located in Mexico.   And now with all this electric cars, everybody's you know, the developing world is, you know, getting more developed. And so we're consuming more copper, and there's not a lot of copper out there, or the copper supply is not keeping up with the demand. So I found this company in 2017. And what was interesting about it was a special situation because in 2000, that property is called Santa Tomas Copper Project was sold from a gentleman, Mexican gentleman to a crook, the crook bought it for 10 million back then, and never paid for the property. So the Mexican guy wanted to get the property back. But it was it was complicated because it was like in three different jurisdictions Bahamas, Mexico and the United States.   So that company said to him, You know what, we'll we'll get you your property back, we'll pay for the lawyers will win you the property back but in return, we will earn 50% interest in the property. So it took them like 10 years to win the lawsuit. So they won the lawsuit in in Bahamas. And when I got involved, they already won the lawsuit in Bahamas, but they still had to kind of finish the lawsuit and have everything correctly the title registered in Mexico. And and then what was happening in Arizona was that it was crazy because the two parties that were fighting with each other Oracle, Oracle had ownership interest in both parties. Like I kid you not they own both parties. And but what was happening in Arizona was that they were kind of in receivership of that other party. So they were foreclosing on that interest.   And so, so I was looking at a lawsuit and you know, I don't speak Spanish but I speak English. So in Arizona, I was buying the legal documents directly from the courthouse as the court as the lawsuit was going on. So I was like getting documents right away faster than the company faster than the lawyers because the moment is showed up I already got on the phone and I bought the document. So I saw that they were like winning every single step every single step the other party said something to the judge was like nope, you don't know what you're talking about wrong wrong wrong. So I didn't even have the legal experience. But I could tell that like there's no way they were going to lose so So I bought all these shares and of course they won the lawsuit they foreclosed on the property they registered the property in Mexico and and and and nobody was paying attention like I was the only one buying the legal documents the only one studying this it was on the company was trading on TSX Venture so you know toxic exchange know what no one was gonna touch it. They institutions didn't want to look into it because they don't get involved in the legals.   Okay. Well, I got involved and I studied it and it was it was easy. It was simple. And then I even wrote like a 20 page analysis on my website and I was uploading the documents for everybody who wanted to see too See it. So the long story short is, you know, the stock goes up like 100 times, you know, we, in total, the people that were following me, I would say they made like $300 million. Today, today, I get gifts, all kinds of gifts people send me thank you change my life and all this. But it was an example of it of a of a situation where nobody wanted to look at there was no competition, it was so easy, so easy to see when you actually rolled up your sleeves and did some work.   So that was an example of a success. And I still own the shares, because I still think they're going to go much, much higher from here, because now now the situation is a little different, the title is registered. Now they, they are kind of confirming the historical results that were on this property. Because this was not some kind of little dinky property. This was a property that was massive copper deposit that was even used as examples of a good depositing geological books. So I knew I was dealing with something major. But you know, when I was buying the shares, the market cap, or the value of the company was $3 million. I looked at it, and I already knew back then I said, this is worth half a billion dollars. And today, it's even worth more because copper is hot. Everybody's talking about electrification. So not I mean, now it's probably gonna sell for a billion or 2 billion. Who knows? But that's an example of a success story.   Michael: Wow. And how long did the process take from when you bought it at four cents for the stock to get up to $3 a share?   Mariusz: Well, from 2017 to two now. So actually, what was interesting is that it kind of took a dip, because of COVID. So it was like it was on its way to $1. And then the COVID came and it crashed. Because everything crashed, it crashed to like 20 cents. And then the moment COVID COVID recovered and, and copper recovered, it went from like 20 cents to, to over over three bucks. It went to as high as 3.66. And now it pulled back to like 2.60. But, you know, on my watch on my watch, it was almost 100 times, but it was more than 100 times because the lowest stock was was one penny. So it did go to $3. That's like 300 times, but I wasn't I wasn't involved when it was at one penny. I was involved when it was like four.   So So yeah, so that I mean, it's incredible story, but it just shows you that these opportunities exist. And it's kind of like a real estate example, because it's a real estate. It's a property, okay, it's not an apartment, but it's a property.   Michael: Awesome. So now I love your story Mariusz, and I want to let you get out of here. But before I do any final words of wisdom recommendations that you want to share with folks who are listening?   Mariusz: I would just say, Look, just think independently. Think for yourself. Yeah, I know, it's nice to be invested alongside with what everybody else is talking about. But the biggest money is made when you just think for yourself. I always use the example of if you're selling a house, would you like? Or if you buying a house? Would you like to be buying it when there's 100 Other people bidding with you? Or would you be the only one buying it? Right? It's it's obvious and when you're selling your house? When you selling a house? Would you like a lot of people looking at your house? Or would you like one person looking at your house? Again, obvious answer.   So then why do we like up investment opportunities or stocks only when everybody else is looking at them? Flip it. Think for yourself, look for yourself. Buy it when they're not watching and then sell it when they're watching.   Michael: Right, right. Oh, that's so good. That's so good. And if people want to get ahold you want to reach out to you want to learn more about what you're doing in my company's general what's the best way for them to get in touch?   Mariusz: Just visit my website microcap.explosions.com. You will find a link to my YouTube channel to my email. That's the best way to get ahold of me.   Michael: Amazing. Rich, thank you so much for taking the time. I really appreciate you coming on and we'll definitely chat soon.   Mariusz: Yeah, thanks a lot.   All right, everyone. That was our episode a big big big thank you to Mariusz, I will definitely be going online to check out his website micro cap explosions. You enjoyed the episode. Leave us a rating or review wherever it is you get your podcasts. And as always look forward to seeing you on the next one. Happy investing

Chubby! on Facebook: www.facebook.com/chubbyrecords Gill Perrin on Facebook: www.facebook.com/gill.perrin "So this is my first recording I've done, although I've been mixing for the last couple of years now. I feel like the mix is a pretty accurate representation of my taste in house music. A combination of both new and old, some tribal elements, breaks and early morning stuff. I guess I've been lucky enough to see a lot of good DJ's on a regular basis and have a variety of record shops to motivate me whilst having lived in Berlin the last few years, which has definitely helped me progress, as well as being exposed to great local and international artists whilst I was living in Melbourne. I guess the stuff coming out of Norway and Canada (both past and present) has been an influence as well and I guess thats pretty evident in the mix with tracks by artists such as; Bjorn Torske, Erot, Globex and Local Artist to name a few. I try to keep a pretty mixed bag though in that respect and am a big fan of stuff from Italy and France as well as America. I hope people enjoy the tracks as much as I do anyway. I guess I should do some obligatory shout outs to Rich(bringing the enchanted rydims)for letting me use his equipment to record the mix and Mario the Exterminador... " 1.

Today we are joined by Derek Samman, Global Head of Commodities and Options Products at CME Group. What to Know: Highlights from the last quarter at CME Group. Third-quarter 2015 average daily volume was 14.4 million contracts, up 7 percent from third-quarter 2014, and included record quarterly options average daily volume as well as double digit growth across all commodities product lines. Clearing and transaction fee revenues were $715 million, up 11 percent compared with third-quarter 2014. Market data revenue was $100 million, up 13 percent compared with the third quarter last year. Third-quarter 2015 total average rate per contract was 75.9 cents, down from 77.7 cents in second-quarter 2015, driven primarily by higher volume discounts as well as a sequential product mix shift from commodities to equity index products which capture lower fees.  (Source: CME Group) Q3 options volume reached a record level of 2.9 million contracts per day. We also saw the highest percentage of this business trading electronically, which reached 55 percent electronic during the quarter. One of the key drivers of our continued electronic options success is our investment in enabling more complex Options spreads to trade on Globex. In 5 Q3, we saw a record 45 percent of all Options spreads trade electronically, versus just 10 percent in 2010. And volume in the world's largest major options contracts, our Eurodollar options traded on Globex, jumped by more than 60 percent to a record 200,000 contracts per day in Q3, and reached 21 percent electronic versus 14 percent a year ago. (Source: CME Group) What's on Your Mind? Listener questions and comments Brokers, symbols, and how to trade futures and futures options

Volatility is the name of the game. All those months of compression certainly released explosive energy. The market opened today with inventory long, Globex looking below prior day down to 1850.50, found buyers and spend the rest of the night trending up to open at 1913.50. With the activity related to China, the range overnight has been more than triple an average day day session of 20 points before the sell-off started!

The Long and Short of Futures Options: Live from FIA with Derek Samman Mark is joined live at FIA Boca by Derek Samman, Global Head of Commodities and Options Products at CME Group. What to Know: Volumes are through the roof on options. Infrastructure investments are paying dividends. February had over 300,000,000 contracts trade, over 87% of which were electronic. 3,000,000 options contracts traded. Electronic traction is gaining steam. What's going on with crude? Great timing with weekly crude options, which are getting good adoption. There are also weeklys in interest rates and forex. Volatility has come rushing back into the market. The Swiss Franc black swan. What to Watch: What does CME group have to sate the desire for oil? You can use the RFQ function on Globex for a non-standard spread. The recent launch of the CME iPad app. What's on Your Mind: Listener comments and questions Why did CME Group close the futures pits, but not the options pits? Oil-based ETFs versus oil futures options Monthly spread options in WTI    

Trading Tech Talk 14: End of the Race to Zero CTO Interview Segment: Today's guest is Dan Sacks, CEO of Actant. He discusses: An overview of his background in the derivatives space. A background of Actant. Actant's key products and consumers Free troubleshooting for your clients How important is speed? What is the use case for Actant's Extstream product? What does Extstream offer that the legion of other risk/analytics platforms do not? How he feels about changing fee schedules? What was the genesis behind the recent deal with Liquidpoint? What he thinks of the recent controversy over the Globex outage? Have we reached the point where adding new venues is simply risk prohibitive at this point?   Hot Topics in Tech: ICE buys patents from Trade Technologies. What is sufficiently accurate to collect timestamps on multi-party electronic trading data? Is it seconds, milliseconds, microseconds, or nanoseconds? 'Flash Boys' and the Speed of Lies - By Brad Katsuyama   The Inbox Segment: Comment from Kaiserdog76: Mark- Kudos again for covering Barclay's and the HFT shakedown that has been going on. It is the biggest thing no one seems to be talking about. Please keep it coming! Question from Anon. (withhold name): Loving the trading tech talk program. The episodes with Hull and Liquidpoint were great. I look forward to each new episode. I work for a vendor (which shall go unnamed) and i see a lot of these debates playing out every day. Quite frankly a lot of the firms that I deal with are fed up with shelling out every six months for new tech. They are overburdened by regulatory expenses that are siphoning off any remaining discretionary budgets and they are being forced to make do with the tech they already have. My question for the panel - do you think this will be the ultimate deciding factor in the financial technology space? Firms essentially saying “no mas” to increasing tech arms races, abandoning the already dated “race to zero” and instead focusing on new strats and products that take full advantage of their existing tech without a large additional capital outlay? Between you and me I'm already polishing my resume. So i guess that goes to show where i think things are heading. Love the show. I'll keep listening no matter how this thing shakes out. If you use this on the show please don't read my name.

Trading Tech Talk 10: The Anti-Pit Proposal Hot Topics in Tech: Vesel Interactive - taking a look inside the black box. Industry group believes CME Group should suspend open-outcry trading if Globex crashes and reopen for after-hours session. Can we trust the SECs MIDAS touch? SEC supports plan to move more stock trading onto exchanges, away from private trading venues operated by banks and other firms.   The Lightning Round: Minis: the beginning of the end? Dark pools: the same? Flash Boys: Food for thought or hyperbolic source of disinformation?   The Inbox: Listener questions, comments, and feedback Question from Innovert - Lots of talk about the Options House/Trade Monster merger today. Many reasons being tossed around. Do you think Tech was a big driver? In particular the cost of developing and maintaining a cutting-edge options platform? Is the simply beyond the reach of smaller firms these days? Have we as options traders come to expect too many bells and whistles? Question from Derrin Jacoby - I have heard some talk about HTML5 on recent episodes. Can the hosts explain a little more about the benefits of this technology vs. earlier iterations of html? We did not see much in the way of Fin Tech web functionality with old versions of HTML. Everything sophisticated seemed locked to the proprietary client spectrum. Do you feel HTML5 has enough muscle to finally change that? Are we entering the brave new world of thin client functionality in the Fin Tech marketplace? Question from Big Data - Flash Boys focuses a lot of detriments of colocation at exchanges. The book interprets that this offers unfair advantage to firms willing to pay for access. Whether you agree with this conclusion or not, do you feel we are entering a period of increased regulation and potential backlash against colocation? I would imagine this is a substantial revenue source that the exchanges will not part with without a fight. And what about the large data center like Equinix? They seem to be ground zero for this debate? Do you think we will see increasing regulatory crackdown on this private data center side of the business?

Futures Options Roundtable 10: A Deep Dive Into Futures Options Data   Today's guest co-host is Nick Howard of QuikStrike The Grand Marketplace: Industry group believes CME Group should suspend open-outcry trading if Globex crashes after an exchange outage in April.  Ags: Wheat futures cap 10-month slump, falling 9.4% from a 14-month high on May 6. Soybean prices rise on tight supplies, increasing $.20 to settle at $14.85 a bushel. Corn prices plummeted, ending a 4.7% weekly slide. Coffee prices soar as Brazil cuts harvest estimate. Metals: Hedge funds cut bullish gold futures bets, while gold rise on Indian demand.  Energy: Oil prices settle at three-week highs.   The Scrolls: Listener questions and comments Question from Seahound - I know about Trade Alert and Livevol. Those services are great, but they focus on equity options. Are there any services or platforms out there that focus on futures options analytics? Question from Alan Gergory - Is the standard multiplier for futures options 100 like it is for equity options? Or do they us some other system? Comment from Charles Dectan, New Orleans, LA - I agree with Jeff from the recent episode. Hellen was great! You guys need to get her on the show more often. She brings a unique perspective to the grains markets.

Futures Options Roundtable 4: We Buy Gold & Other Dubious Metals Schemes The Grand Marketplace: There has been insane movements/volatility in gold and silver since our last show. We saw a pop last week only to see is start trending down again. Bonds, tapering and rates. Oil, Nat Gas, and other energies. The Guild Hall: What can you learn from today's episode? Taking Delivery: Question from Hawkeye - I would like to add some hard assets to my rainy day fund. I am looking at physical silver but I don't want to run down to my local jeweler/coin dealer or pay the ridiculous markup for coins on those infomercials. If I buy and exercise a silver option can i arrange to receive delivery of the metal at my own residence or do I need to have it delivered to a third party? Binaries: is there a delivery aspect to NADEX contracts? If so, how does that work? The Scrolls: In which we answer listener questions. Question from Winteriscoming - Hey guys -can you explain the difference between the Ags and the softs? I always seem to get these products confused. Question from Alexander - The OPRA failure really spooked me. Gold was moving and I couldn't exit my GLD options positions. Do you consider CME's GLOBEX platform to be safer if only because it isn't linking nearly a dozen exchanges? Should I be looking at the CME contracts and options instead? Question from Jim Jim - NADEX has options and bull spreads. Are there any plans to expand the NADEX product offering anytime soon? Maybe bear spreads or some dedicated hedging products - perhaps a NADEX version of a strangle?

The Long & Short of Futures Options 12: Interest Rate & Equity Update Once again, Mark is joined by Dave Reif, Sr. Director of Interest Rate Products, and Tom Boggs, Sr. Director of Equity Products. What to Know: Option growth in index options taking off. Now there are 59 expirations in the year. Increased trading in both Globex and on the floor.  Not seeing any demand in micro equity contracts.  There is also a big push in the weekly treasury options. Added a mid-curve option. How did China slowdown impact CME products? Explosion of VIX and its impact on CME products. What's New: Taking the VIX methodology and applying it to the 10-year. When will it be tradable? Quick Strike option pricing and analysis tool. Daily volatility surface report. Both are free on the CME website at cme.com/options. Jumbo SPY discussion. What to Watch: How to spark volume while macro products are evolving. Will there be a daily expiration option to react to events? What's on Your Mind: We answer listener questions They address: ETFs vs. futures, treasury options at competing exchanges,

Michael Covel talks to trader and programmer Brad Rathe. Rathe allocates funds to other traders, as well as operatoring his own global macro fund. Rathe has worked at such firms as EMC (original Turtle), Northbourne, and Rotella. Rathe moved to Chicago the day he graduated college and immersed himself in the pits of the Chicago Board of Trade, initially working in the "meats" pit (pork bellies, live cattle, live hogs, and feeder cattle). Covel and Rathe talk about some of the practical/physical factors involved in the futures pit in the late 80's/early 90's. In the off-season, some of Chicago's athletes would work in the pits, and Rathe was surrounded by ex-Bulls, Blackhawks, and Bears. It was a very physical game back then, and Rathe saw broken ribs in the pits. Rathe shares some great anecdotes about someone who sold his spot in the pit for $1 million dollars - even though there were no assigned spots to begin with. Covel and Rathe discuss the move to screen-based exchanges (computer trading) replacing floor trading; Rathe states that when you get off the floor, it takes on more and more importance to have a systematic, non-emotion based trading strategy. Rathe fell into working at Globex, which was just starting, and saw some of the beginnings of electronic trading. By 1991, Rathe moved to EMC, where he worked under Liz Cheval (original Turtle). Rathe relates some of the lessons he learned from Cheval, and sheds a little light on the Turtle story from the perspective of having worked for Cheval. Covel and Rathe also discuss how the CTA business grew under the Turtles; the importance of programming; tweaking and changing your trend following system; MF Global, Madoff, Wasendorf and other cheaters; and the importance of being unemotional during a big blowup.

Option Block 120: Doin' Stuff Trading Block: Another mild day on the market. Metals/Commodities rundown - GLD up a bit, but not much. Premium on the VIX futures is getting crushed. Corn and grains limit down after a USDA report this morning rocked the market. Odd Block: Unusual activity in Newell Rubbermaid, Inc. (NWL) and Research in Motion (RIMM). Xpress Block: Rob Kurzatkowski commands the OX desk today and discusses the ags from CME and Globex, limits and what you need to know before trading following reports. Strategy Block: Andrew Giovanazzi runs the strategy block and talks about doing stuff after trading Zenga and XLF. Around the Block: Earnings outlook: Goldman Sachs, Citi - 1/18, Intel - 1/19, as well as Apple - 1/24. Will we push through the 1300-level, or will it act as a level of resistance? Next Wednesday is VIX expiration for the Jan contracts.

Volatility Views 24: Precious Metals Volatility ExplosionVolatility Review: The markets are turning green after a recent sea of red. A huge sell-off in gold and silver -- the story here is that people are rolling out of gold and precious metals and keeping funds in cash to be in a position to buy the market when it reaches the bottom. VIX review -- volatility certainly got scary for a little while. Euro vol review. Mailbag: "I've been listening to the show for some time and have become intrigued by the concept of VolContracts. I think I have a decent handle on the differences between implied versus realized volatility and I'm ready to take the next step. But that's where I'm stuck. How do I trade VolContracts? I don't see them promoted or even mentioned by any brokerage firms. If I call or email my broker (Interactive Brokers), are they even going to know what I'm talking about? Do you have any brokers that you'd recommend for their expertise with VolContracts? Also, since they are listed by the CME and track realized vol of Euro futures, I assume that I will need a futures account to trade them. Lastly, are these listed on Globex so I can trade them electronically or do I need to put an order into a pit?" "Bob Krause advocated the use of volatility cones on a recent show, and I know Don has discussed them in the past as well. However, Mark made an excellent point in a recent episode that, in this environment, vol cones may not be the best barometer for where you should work your orders. It got me wondering if maybe there were certain market environments where vol cones were extremely useful, and other times, such as the current environment, when waiting for mean reversion is the quickest way to blowing out. Long Term Capital immediately comes to mind. I'm wondering what you guys think on this issue. I think I know where Mark stands, but I wonder where Don falls on this since I know he is an ardent fan of vol cones." Crystal Ball: Metal vols -- have we just witnessed the bottom of gold and silver? Mark Sebastian predicts VIX to hit 50 in the next three weeks. We are halfway through the Oct VolContract, and as of Thursday the contract settled at 15.87 -- you would need 18 volatility on the Euro, going forward, to justify that price.
