Unless you've been living under a rock, chances are you're aware of the resurgence in small-cap stocks. The ASX Small Ordinaries is up 19% year-to-date, versus just 7% for the ASX 100. But it's not just a rotation away from growth-starved large caps that is seeing smalls catch a bid. The recent reporting season showed that many small caps are in rude health, with strong balance sheets and improved earnings backed by margin expansion, built on a bedrock of innovation and competitive advantage. That's the good news but, of course, not all small caps are created equal. Investors need to be highly selective when considering less mature businesses. Against that backdrop, Livewire's Chris Conway sat down with James Nguyen from Tyndall and Shaun Weick from Wilson Asset Management to understand their most important factors when assessing companies and run the ruler over three of the hottest ASX small caps. For good measure, they each share a name they believe is on the rise. Please note that this episode was filmed 5 November 2025
Welcome to the VRA Investing Podcast, hosted by Kip Herriage. In today's episode, Kip Herriage wraps up the week with an upbeat assessment of the markets, celebrating October's solid gains and looking ahead with optimism to November—historically a very bullish month. He dives into the data and market analytics, discusses the strength in tech stocks and small caps, and shares insights on key companies like Nvidia, Tesla, and Apple. Plus, Kip Herriage brings listeners the latest on internals, gold, commodities, and even drops hints about a new crypto recommendation. Get ready for a lively breakdown of why he believes the market is set up for strong performance heading into year-end, along with some expert commentary on big names and upcoming trends.
It used to be simple: small companies went public, grew, and investors participated along the way. Today, companies stay private longer, and private markets have claimed many opportunities that once lived in public stocks. Historically a source of some of the strongest market returns, small caps have shred that reputation. The question becomes: Where did the small caps go? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

From using AI to create better weather forecasts to helping people with disabilities get their dream job, Japan's small companies are a disruptive force.
Markets climbed above key moving averages on Monday, retesting the 50-DMA three times before pushing higher. The NASDAQ's QQQ hit new all-time highs as tech led the rally, while the S&P 500 Equal Weight (RSP) lagged—showing how narrow the market's leadership has become. The “buy-the-dip” mentality continues to dominate, delivering the best returns in 33 years. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar is trending higher, bond yields are sliding below 4%, and foreign investors are returning to U.S. markets. With the MACD close to turning back to a “buy,” a new market high could confirm the bullish trend.

“It's only a matter of time” before the SPX reaches 7,000, Ahmed Riesgo says, but he thinks it won't happen until 2026. Right now, he likes financials, healthcare, and small caps. He especially likes the latter because of valuation, but he does not that they may be more sensitive to risk.

The big things you need to know: • First, weakness in Homebuilders doesn't bode well for the recent outperformance of Small Caps. • Second, we've continued to see some slippage in earnings sentiment (the rate of upward EPS estimate revisions) for the S&P 500, which has been driven by companies outside of the biggest market cap names. • Third, bulls picked up sharply in the AAII survey last week. • Fourth, our work on US equity market performance in the 12-month period following non-recession-related Fed cuts and reset cuts highlights upside risk to our 2H26 S&P 500 target price of 7,100. • Fifth, capex growth improved in 2Q25. • Sixth, US equity funds flows bounced back last week, driven by US-domiciled funds.
Steve Kolano focuses on small caps and the steepening yield curve. In order for small caps to sustain momentum, he's focused on economic factors rather than the bond market. He also digs into the labor market, looking to history to compare today's unemployment conditions to past recessions. Steve also looks at gold, still at record highs, and argues it as a proxy for bonds and an inflation hedge.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Markets may be climbing, but many investors are still stuck in bearish thinking. In this week's note, Robert explains how optimism has historically outperformed skepticism, why the “stimulus wave” is only just beginning, and what that means for stocks, small caps, and AI. He shares his framework for managing runaway winners like $OKLO, discusses how Fed rate cuts and yield curve control could fuel the next leg higher, and answers a member question about when to lock in gains. Plus, reflections on why pessimism may sound smart but rarely compounds wealth.

Jeff McClean says A.I. valuations have ballooned to the point where the value in many have been lost. He points attention to names beyond key A.I. players as financial opportunities. Jeff says many can be found in the broad small caps sector, arguing that the recent rate cut and other tentative cuts in 2025 heavily benefit Russell 2000 names. He adds that Novo Nordisk (NVO) will regain momentum with its Ozempic drug after the stock was "beaten down" over the last year. In the Mag 7, Jeff still expects more upside potential in Alphabet (GOOGL).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In this live Q&A session, Wade Pfau, Alex Murguia, and Bill Bengen discuss the intricacies of safe withdrawal rates in retirement, focusing on the relevance of the 4% rule, the impact of inflation, and the importance of investment strategies. They explore various topics including the significance of account types, the risks associated with stock picking, and the necessity of adjusting withdrawal rates based on market conditions and personal circumstances. The conversation emphasizes the need for a tailored approach to retirement planning, considering factors like tax efficiency and rebalancing strategies. Takeaways Inflation is a significant risk in retirement planning. The 4% rule is not a fixed rule and can vary. Longer planning horizons require lower withdrawal rates. Account types affect the net amount available for withdrawal. Stock picking can be risky and is not recommended for most. Market conditions can influence safe withdrawal rates. Adjusting withdrawal rates in response to inflation is crucial. Understanding current vs. synthetic withdrawal rates is important. Annual reviews of withdrawal plans can help manage risks.

Current expectations on the FOMC's September interest rate cut may not be as solid as investors anticipate, says Kevin Green. He says a "fairly aggressive" retail sales print Tuesday, among other inflation reports, can shake up cut probabilities. As far as stocks to watch, Kevin points to small caps and financials as interest rate movers. He later touches on the "mixed picture" for the China trade.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan welcomes value investor Tobias Carlisle back to the show. Tobias is the founder and portfolio manager of Acquirers Funds, a deep-value investment firm. He's also an author and host of the Acquirers Podcast. Tobias kicks things off by discussing the "happy hunting ground" in small-cap stocks, the market narrowing in the S&P 500 Index, and the massive amounts of capital flowing into AI. He also compares the AI mania today with the dot-com boom of the late '90s, questions how AI is making money, and notes that the bottom 490 stocks in the S&P 500 have been in a "little recession" since 2022. He says this gives value investors an opportunity right now to get great names for cheap before the inevitable rebound. After that, Tobias comments on passive investing, what could be in store for the top 10 large caps, and why fears of AI destroying the jobs market are overblown. (0:00) Next, Tobias talks about his company's two funds: the Acquirers Fund (ZIG) and Acquirers Small and Micro Deep Value Fund (DEEP). He explains what he looks for when picking stocks and how he determines valuations. He also name-drops many stocks and industries that he thinks have fantastic potential over the next decade. (21:01) Finally, Tobias discusses the significance of hedge-fund shorts of the small-cap Russell 2000 Index peaking recently, plus the extreme concentration of the top 10 stocks. He notes that Nvidia now accounts for 8% of the S&P 500's market cap – the highest in history. Tobias says that valuations will eventually come back down to Earth and that not all of the Mag Seven will be top performers in the future. Citing Tesla as the weakest in the group, he points out that Chinese electric vehicles beat Tesla cars in terms of price, design, and charging times. Tobias then closes things out with a conversation about an "echo boom" of 2021, cryptocurrencies being back in favor, and the unprecedented outperformance of large caps. (37:31)
