If you are a sports fan, and even if you are not, I dare you to watch the first 15 minutes of this ESPN 30 for 30 program without being completely lured in to watch the full 80 minutes. It is one of the best sports biographies I’ve seen covering Bo Jackson who many regard as the best athlete ever. I remember watching Bo Jackson when I was a kid, but I never truly understood the depth of his talent and character. [VIEW IT HERE]

Medifast: A Soap Opera of Success
Posted August 20, 2012 By Ian Cassel in Blog, Companies Mentioned, Inspirational With | 3 Comments
At MicroCapClub we enjoy looking at microcap success stories so that as investors we can learn and try to formulate a blueprint of success for future investing. There have been several microcaps over the last few years that have gone from sub $1.00 per share to double digits ($10+), but many of those eventually stumble and end up coming right back down. Far fewer have excelled over a ten-year period of time and are still performing well. A couple weeks ago I wrote about Contango Oil & Gas (MCF) that has gone from $0.20 in 1999 to $56.00 today.

The company has gone from $0.20 in 1999 to $59 today. For FY 2011, the company did $200m in revenues with $100 million in operating income. Yes, you are reading that correctly.

Bubba Watson goes driver-driver-putt for eagle at Kapalua
Posted July 15, 2012 By Ian Cassel in Blog, Inspirational With | No CommentsIf you are a golfer or not, I think you will find this shot incredible. A year ago in the opening round of the Hyundai Tournament of Champions, Bubba Watson’s driver off the deck from 305 yards settles within 10 feet of the cup on the par-5 18th hole, and he converts the eagle putt. Hitting a driver off the fairway is hard enough, but Bubba also had to shape it around the fairway so it could stay on the green which the aerial view shows about 1 minute in. Amazing.
