Investor keynotes from the VANCOUVER 2023 event: Paul Andreola shares his microcap investing strategies, Dave Barr discusses finding successful microcap companies, Harold Leishman talks about investing in microcap stocks, Hamed Shahbazi highlights the growth of Well Health Technologies, Brent Todd explores opportunities for investing in microcap companies, and Ryan Irvine discusses analyzing micro cap valuations and risks in the market.

My guest on the show today is Rene Goehrum, President, CEO and Chairman of BioSyent (TSX-V: RX). BioSyent is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on commercializing products that the company says provides a distinguishable benefit to patients and their healthcare providers and, according to their website, is known for their ability to effectively and efficiently introduce new products to the Canadian market. BioSyent is, as the company states on their website, actively sought out as the Canadian market partner of choice by brand innovators with niche or specialty products looking for a trusted partner. The first time we interviewed Rene was back in June 2013. At the beginning of June 2013, the stock was trading around $1.30, and as of recording of this introduction, the morning of September 15, 2023, the stock closed at $7.85. Furthermore, as of Q2 2023, the company has reported 52 consecutive profitable quarters, according to their Q2 2023 results presentation. Many of you listening know the BioSyent story well, and yet despite the company's performance during Rene's tenure, I think some of you would agree that BioSyent is the most well-known unknown company. I thought it was time for folks that don't know the company's history and where they were going to have Rene on the show to chat about all of that, plus: Capital allocation discipline and approach Criteria for in-licensing new products, and; Rene's "promised land" / long-term vision for BioSyent With that, please enjoy my conversation with Rene Goehrum, President, CEO and Chairman of BioSyent.

Donald Porter, Portfolio Manager and Equity Research Analyst, discusses the current state of MicroCaps, challenges faced by managers, ideal scenario for MicroCap investing, analysis of industrial and tech sectors, influence of AI on the industrial sector and stock market, MicroCap perspective on consumer and tech sectors, and investing in Canadian tech and MicroCaps.

My guest on the show today is Jonathan Boyar, President of Boyar Research. I recently saw Jonathan as a guest on the Value After Hours podcast with Tobias Carlisle and Jake Taylor, and invited him on to get his perspective on the markets in 2023, as well as his take on MicroCap performance. As the title states, we've been experiencing a double whammy in MicroCaps: poor stock performance over the last two years and allocators are not distributing funds to MicroCap strategists. We talk at length about why this environment is fertile ground for MicroCap investors that know what they are doing. Jonathan and I also talk about his latest venture: the Boyar Research substack, where you can actually get Jonathan's latest MicroCap picks as a subscriber - the link to the Boyar Research substack is in the show notes.

Paul Andreola, Founder and Editor of SmallCap Discoveries, breaks down various presenting companies participating in the Planet MicroCap Showcase event in Vancouver. The podcast covers topics such as revenue generating microcap companies, webcasting investor conferences, ESG investing, cracking robotics, a former meatball brand's transformation, video content management, life science companies, the digitization of the supply chain, Nova Leap Health Corp's acquisitions, and an upcoming Planet MicroCap Showcase event. Exciting and diverse topics for microcap investing enthusiasts.

Gary Mishuris, Managing Partner and CIO at Silver Ring Value Partners, shares a checklist of must-ask questions for investors when interviewing company CEOs. He emphasizes the importance of establishing goals before speaking with management and constructing questions based on those goals. Topics covered include understanding CEO values, assessing competitive advantage and capital allocation, evaluating CEO beliefs through historical actions, and approaching conversations with management about concerns.

My guest on the show today is Simon Handrahan, Editor of the Margin of Safety Investing Newsletter. He recently shared a Tweet (or a post now, an "X", I don't know), where he asked his audience: "Individual investors: why don't you invest in illiquid microcaps?" When you deal with MicroCaps, there's a good chance you'll come across a company you might like that meets all your criteria, and it barely trades. This is not news to most of you, but I thought the question that Simon posted on Twitter/X got me thinking: how illiquid is too illiquid? Is the lack of liquidity THE edge when investing in MicroCap stocks? So, I invited on Simon to chat further about all of this plus his theses on stocks currently in his portfolio: Constellation Software CSU, OTC Markets OTCM, Atlas Engineered AEP on the Venture and Galaxy Gaming GLXZ.
