Episode notes
From Desperate Applicant To Microcap Analyst
- Lachlan started in microcap research after many rejections and took a low-paid job with long commutes to learn the trade.
- He credits persistence and autodidactic learning for progressing into senior analyst roles.
Concentrated Value Means People Matter
- Microcaps concentrate value in a small circle of people, so political and reputational factors matter more than broad-market indicators.
- Analyze the share register and who the cornerstone investors are to understand why the market values a tiny company.
Read Charts Forward Using Capital Structure
- Look forward on charts by mapping capital-structure mechanics like options expiry and exercise prices to forecast resistance levels.
- Use known option strikes and expiry dates to predict where price will churn or face selling pressure.
