Top MicroCap Fund Holdings and Performance
Posted April 16, 2013 By Ian Cassel in Blog, Educational With | No Comments
In 2012, companies with market caps $<150 million outperformed (+18.24%) every other market cap grouping. A year ago I listed some microcap fund managers and their performance relative to the Russell 2000 (IWM) and Russell Micro Cap (IWC) ETFs. I thought it would be good to update the performance of those funds, while also comparing them to a few of the other microcap ETFs. As I stated in my original article, some of the greatest money managers of all time first made their fortunes in the micro-small cap arenas, so it’s good to pay attention to the best microcap fund managers and see where they are investing.

MicroCapClub member Marc Robins, author of The Emerging Era of MicroCaps series, joins me on the program.

Book Review: The King of California – JG Boswell and the Making of a Secret American Empire
Posted April 9, 2013 By Ian Cassel in Blog, Book Reviews With | 1 Comment
I’ve written about JG Boswell (BWEL) a couple of times here on MicroCapClub, but I finally finished reading the only book that gives a detailed history of the company and man behind it. JG Boswell is known as the country’s largest farm (150,000 acres), which is located in California. The intrigue with the company isn’t in the size of the farm, but how it got so large in the first place. Read More …

The First Ever MicroCapClub Member MeetUp
Posted April 7, 2013 By Ian Cassel in Blog With | No Comments
Some of the best times I’ve had as an investor have been simply sitting around a table with other likeminded investors talking about microcap stocks and/or issues affecting the space. No agendas, no egos, no BS, which normally come with organized events. This is the environment we look to replicate for our member meetups. We had our first ever MicroCapClub Member MeetUp on Friday in Philadelphia. The event was free to members, and it was a full day of discussion, socializing, and talking about topics relating to microcap. 35 investor-members attended the event, and we will look to do more in the future. Here are a few pictures of the event: Read More …
