Episode notes
From $20 Robinhood Account To Small-Cap Focus
- Mike Huddie started trading with a $20 Robinhood account in college and gravitated to small-cap and penny stocks because of limited capital.
- That early experience led him to Tim Sykes and two and a half years of learning before finding consistency.
Dilution Is Small-Cap's Persistent Force
- Small-cap companies often rely on financing and dilution, creating persistent downward pressure on shares.
- That structural dynamic becomes a durable edge for traders who exploit fades.

- He used a daily sticky note reminder: 'do not long a stock' to enforce the change.
