Mid Dec 2022 Update - $OSS.v, $CPH.to, $GEO.to, $QST.v
Thoughts on Market Activity
Did inflation peak? Are rate hikes going to stop soon? Should SBF get vegan meals in prison?
I have no idea.
What I’m Reading
This post over at The Thinking Investor’s Substack gives some good ideas on how to save time using some tools. I found that before making the switch to full time my constraint was time and now the constraint is cranial capacity.
Podcasts I Enjoyed
I’m have a backlog of podcasts to get through. I’ve been a little occupied with new company research and attending the Planet Microcap Conference.
Bob Robotti on The Business Brew. Bob is always worth a listen. If you are a believer in market cycles then you will find this valuable.
How to Invest When You Like the Business But Not Necessarily the Management Team on This Week in Intelligent Investing. Thought provoking discussion. Personally I have found things a little different in microcaps. I tend to find businesses that I like and management teams that I think are strong operators. It’s the capital market presence and board composition that I have to get over many times.

Other News
I recently attended the Planet Microcap Showcase. There were some interesting presentations and it was nice to get in some 1x1s. Bobby has posted all the interviews on the Planet Microcap YouTube channel. You can check it out here. Some notable presenters were OSS, CPH, ISDR, CXDO, BWLK, COV, GEO, DCM, ASG. If you are interested in trading some notes on any of these feel free to reach out.
Company Updates
Not much updates. Not expecting much for the rest of this month either.
Issuer Direct - ISDR 0.00%↑
I sold my shares this month. I really like the management team and I think there is potential here. I just see some beaten up names here in Canada. It was also nice to get the added benefit of the $USD.
Questor Technologies - $QST.v
announced another tall stack sale
this is good news but what will really get the stock moving will be increased utilization of the rental fleet they have built up over the last cycle
Long - $OSS.v, $CPH.to, $GEO.to, $QST.v
Happy Holidays
