My guest on the show today is Chris Wood, Chief Investment Officer of RiskHedge. Founded in 2018, Chris and his team at RiskHedge run a newsletter helping subscribers anticipate and profit from the biggest disruptive trends shaping our world. They look at opportunities everywhere, but Chris has an affinity for MicroCaps, where he can deploy his own proprietary CHAOS formula to find disruptive companies within the MicroCap ranks. In our conversation today, Chris shares what his "CHAOS Formula" is (which stands for Change, Hype, Acceleration, Ownership and Size) and applies that formula for a few investment ideas he's looking at. Chris also recently attended our conference, the Planet MicroCap Showcase in Las Vegas, as well as LD Micro, where at both, he did a ton of meetings with management teams - so, I wanted to get his take on the message he's getting from CEOs.
