My guest on the show today is Balkar Sivia, Founder & Portfolio Manager at White Falcon Capital Management. In this episode, Balkar shares his unique path from engineering to investing, and why he built White Falcon around an unconstrained, opportunistic philosophy — one that rejects traditional style boxes like “growth” or “value.” We dive into White Falcon's three “engines” — Compounders, Value Today, and Value Tomorrow — and how, for Balkar, this structure should result in part of the portfolio always working. Balkar walks through case studies, explaining how he looks for quality businesses facing temporary challenges, and how narrative shifts and multiple expansion drive returns over a three-year horizon. We also discuss the lessons he's learned in managing value traps, how he's thinking about AI as an investor, and the importance of evolving your process over time. At the heart of it all is a focus on quality management, incentives, and high-conviction positions in a concentrated 20-stock North American portfolio.

My guest on the show today is Ben Finser, Founder and Portfolio Manager at Fin Capital Management. In this episode, Ben shares his journey from a decade at Kabouter Management to launching Fin Capital in 2024, and how his entrepreneurial background shaped his passion for analyzing and owning high-quality businesses. We dive into his exclusive focus on international micro and small caps, a “target-rich universe” of some 15,000 listed companies in developed markets outside the US. Ben explains why these overlooked businesses — often with no sell-side coverage and tiny trading volumes — present compelling opportunities for investors willing to dig deeper. Ben also details his boots-on-the-ground due diligence process, including traveling globally to meet management teams, comparing companies to global peers, and navigating cultural nuances when assessing business quality and long-term growth. We talk about his “pseudo-activist” engagement approach, where he works alongside management to improve disclosures, expand investor outreach, and unlock value. Finally, Ben shares a case study of a Japanese procurement software company he helped bring onto investors' radar, and offers perspective on why US outperformance may be cyclical — and why international microcaps deserve a place in more portfolios.

I veckans avsnitt fördjupar vi oss i två av DNB Carnegies senaste tematiska rapporter – två områden där vi ser stark tillväxtpotential framöver. Vi inleder med ett av DNB Carnegies senaste fokusområde: svenska Micro Cap-bolag. Tillsammans med analytiker Markus Develius går vi igenom den nya analysprodukten som tagits fram av teamet. Markus berättar om metodiken bakom screeningen, vad som sticker ut just nu och varför timingen är särskilt intressant. Vi diskuterar bolagens historiska utveckling, vinstestimat för kommande år och hur Micro Caps står sig jämfört med Small och Large Caps. I andra halvan av avsnittet riktar vi blicken mot Europas energisystem. Efter strömavbrottet på den Iberiska halvön har energisäkerheten hamnat i fokus. Douglas Lindahl presenterar sin rapport som kartlägger utmaningar, EU-direktiv och framtida investeringar. Vi pratar om förväntad tillväxt inom förnybart, lagring och elnät – samt vilka bolag som kan gynnas av den gröna omställningen.

My guest on the show today is Iggy, better known as Iggy on Investing, a deep value investor and blogger. In this episode, Iggy shares how the COVID-19 lockdown gave him the time to dive into investing, turning inspiration from Buffett and Graham into a disciplined deep value strategy focused on small, illiquid companies trading at substantial discounts to book value. We discuss his “Young Buffett”–style approach—seeking firms at 0.3× to 0.5× book with strong ROIC and catalysts, especially in overlooked European markets—as well as the role his blog plays in clarifying his thinking, building conviction, and holding through long, boring periods. Iggy also walks us through hard-learned lessons—from the importance of staying within your circle of competence and scrutinizing corporate governance, to navigating shareholder activism via a “stag hunt” scenario. And he shares how he's building investor community in Europe, including hosting his 2nd Annual Benelux Investor Event on Saturday, September 27.

My guest on the show today is Jordan Zinberg, President & CEO of Bedford Park Capital. Jordan leads the Bedford Park Opportunities Fund, a highly concentrated, Canada-focused small and mid-cap equity strategy. In this episode, Jordan shares how his fund delivered a 58.6% return in 2024, net of fees and expenses, and was named Best One-Year Return at the Canadian Hedge Fund Awards with a 73% return over the 12 months ended June 30, 2024. We also discuss the firm's annualized return of 18.4% since inception in 2018. Jordan walks us through the firm's signature approach—identifying high-growth companies trading at reasonable valuations in a deeply inefficient market. We talk about how he builds conviction through intensive research, how he sizes positions (starting small and pyramiding up), and why bad average-down decisions are rare. We take a close look at his biggest winners—Propel Holdings, Source Energy Services, and Enterprise Group—and examine how early theses, growth acceleration, and multiple expansion fueled outsized returns in 2024. Jordan emphasizes building your edge, knowing what you own, and structuring your portfolio with conviction and concentration.

My guest on the show today is Maj Soueidan, Founder, Editor, and Chief Portfolio Officer at MS MicroCaps and GeoInvesting. In this episode, Maj shares a comprehensive update on his investment philosophy, including the performance and evolution of the MSM Quality Index, a passive, factor-driven approach to finding high-quality microcap stocks with multibagger potential. We discuss how the MSM Index blends qualitative and quantitative analysis, what separates it from traditional model portfolios, and the role of occasional rebalancing. Maj also walks us through how the index achieved over 100% returns since inception and why it's built for long-term staying power. We also dive into the differences between MS Micro Caps and GeoInvesting — one serving as a pipeline of ideas, the other as a deeper research platform — and how Maj thinks about conviction levels, diversification, and information edge. From spotting opportunities in “old boring companies” benefiting from data center and AI trends to reading between the lines in press releases and earnings transcripts, Maj offers a masterclass in info arbitrage and microcap idea generation.

We discuss why Canada and Europe are outperforming while the U.S. lags in 2025, sector rotation, and how Ryan's “GUTS” framework — Growth, Undervalued, Timing, and Sentiment — identifies overlooked opportunities in the microcap universe.

My guests on the show today are Anthony Perala and James Hannack, research analysts at Punch & Associates. Anthony and James recently returned from a multi-city due diligence trip across Western Canada, and in this episode, they walk us through what they learned — not just about specific companies, but about the power of seeing businesses up close. We talk about why in-person research still matters, especially in microcaps where management access, company culture, and operational visibility aren't always obvious on paper or a Zoom screen. They share how walking factory floors, reading body language, and noticing office details can shape conviction and surface red flags in ways spreadsheets simply can't. Anthony and James also explain why Calgary and Vancouver are becoming regular stops on their research itinerary, how they prepare for and structure field visits, and how they filter insights once they're back at the desk. We also cover common pitfalls, lessons learned, and what separates candid management teams from those just giving the “IR version” of the story. If you've ever questioned whether boots-on-the-ground research still adds value in today's data-rich environment — this episode makes a compelling case that it does.

My guest on the show today is Mathieu Martin, Portfolio Manager at Rivemont MicroCap Fund. I've known Mathieu a long time, and he's a regular guest on the show. He's a generalist microcap investor who recently started exploring a sector many investors have written off entirely: Canadian cannabis. After years of avoiding the space due to its speculative excesses, Mathieu has been seeing the potential for a turnaround — with cleaner balance sheets, improving fundamentals, and profitable operators finally emerging. In this episode, we talk about what's changed in the Canadian cannabis landscape — from rationalized supply and reduced competition, to international export markets and stronger brand differentiation. Mathieu shares how he uncovered opportunities like High Tide, why some vertically integrated players like Cannara Biotech and Rubicon stand out, and how excise tax reform or expanded retail footprints could serve as powerful catalysts for the sector. We also dig into why most investors are still stuck on the legacy LPs from the 2017–2019 bubble — and what they're missing. Mathieu explains the importance of reading cash flow statements over flashy revenue growth, highlights accounting red flags, and discusses how to navigate this highly regulated, capital-intensive market with discipline. If you've written off cannabis or simply haven't revisited the Canadian names in years, this conversation might just change your mind, and for full disclosure, we discussed a number of companies on today's episode, and I'm not a shareholder in any of them.  For more information about Mathieu Martin, Rivemont MicroCap Fund and the Stocks & Stones Newsletter, please visit: https://stocksandstones.substack.com/ You can Follow Mathieu Martin on Twitter/X: @Stocks_Stones Planet MicroCap Podcast is on YouTube!

My guest on the show today is Jerome, Portfolio Manager at Uzo Capital. Jerome brings a unique lens to public equity investing—shaped by his experience on the equity trading floor at Merrill Lynch during the financial crisis, his global perspective, and a profitable venture in music royalties. In this episode, we dive into Jerome's barbell investment approach: pairing stable, cash-generative compounders with higher-risk, venture-style bets in the public markets. He walks us through how he identifies “asymmetric” opportunities—where the upside far outweighs the downside—particularly in companies that are either undiscovered or undergoing transformational change. Jerome also shares how his music royalty business, which generates steady, recurring cash flow, provides the emotional and financial runway to take bold swings on high-risk, high-reward ideas. He discusses how this foundation enables him to withstand volatility and dig deeper into ideas that others may overlook. We cover a lot in this conversation—from PLBY, McCoy Global, and Comstock, to his thesis around durable, capital-light growth businesses and the importance of identifying "free call options" within complex situations. Jerome also lays out a thoughtful framework for due diligence and portfolio sizing that helps manage both risk and conviction.

My guest on the show today is Denver Smith, Managing Partner & Chief Investment Officer at Carlson Ridge Capital. We've done a number of episodes over the years on Activist Investing, and I'd say all the investors that end up going activist, it's a reluctant endeavour; they basically, with all the circumstances happening in that particular company, made a conscious decision doing a time and cost analysis that it was a necessary step. But the biggest difference between most activist investors we've had on, or rather, investors that have gone active, is that they wouldn't necessarily describe themselves as activist investors; it was all situational. While becoming an activist investor was initially unintentional with my guest today, Denver Smith, he is now most certainly intentional when the circumstances are ripe. And we dive into what a ripe situation looks like. And for full disclosure, we discussed a number of companies during today's podcast, I am not a shareholder in any of them.

My guest on the show today is with Devin LaSarre, Founder & Editor of Invariant. I've been following Devin for a while on social media, and invited him on to better understand his overall investing philosophy, and then specifically dig into an industry / idea a bit further. This episode I would say falls into the "ways of seeing" bucket, meaning, every once in a while I have a conversation on here with someone that has a completely different way they look at investing that I find very unique. In this case, Devin's focus on finding very "unclean" stories and doing the work to clean it up struck a chord that I wanted to understand further. I had a blast jamming on this concept, and then diving further on the Nicotine industry and his thesis on Haypp Group.

I invited Adam back on to discuss an article he wrote back in August 2024 to explore the idea of investors/shareholders finding companies, in other words, delving deeper into a statement made famous by Buffett, "companies ultimately end up with the shareholders they deserve." There's many different ways to think about this concept - Adam and I do our best to cover them all.
