The way it will work is this: Through an aggressive marketing program, I will develop a large opt-in subscriber stock trader database ... aka, my "traderbase". I expect that the traderbase will be somewhere around 50,000 members. I will be making stock selections that I believe offer interesting trading opportunities. For some picks I will receive compensation, for others I will not.
As always, if I have any type of conflict of interest, it will be disclosed. And for the record, I will usually have some type of conflict as I want to own these stocks as well. Assuming that I like a stock, if a company wants to pay me to introduce it to my traderbase, even better!
As many of you know, my focus for the last decade has been primarily focused on the small cap sector. Based on my experience in working as a consultant to over two dozen small cap companies, my belief is that many lightly followed stocks in this sector can experience signficant price appreciation if investors become focused on them and have the ability to buy stock.
My goal is not to simply get short term liquidity into a stock, although that may be a side effect. My goal is to introduce investors to stocks that are under the radar. Some of these investors will be short term, some will be long term. Regardless of which type of investor they are, when 50,000 investors decide that a stock that trades under the radar needs to get noticed, it will get noticed in a BIG way.
In the beginning the service will be 100% free to investors. Note: I reserve the right to offer additional services for a fee in the future, as well as conferences and the like, but in the beginning everything will be free.
The platform will have 3 primary components: 1) Research & Commentary, 2) Newsletter and 3) News Alerts.
1) RESEARCH & COMMENTARY: When I see an opportunity in a stock, I will issue a research report with commentary on the stock and why I think it offers an opportunity for price appreciation (or conversely, if I really dislike a stock, why I would short it). I will provide updates to my coverage stocks any time that it seems relevant to do so.
2) NEWSLETTER: I will bring back The Small Cap Investor newsletter. Presently, I am not sure if this will be quarterly or monthly as it will depend on how much time it takes me to write and how big it gets.
3) NEWS ALERTS: When I see a piece of interesting news on a stock that I have an interest in, I will send it out to my traderbase.
Again, 50,000 investors with the abillity to buy or sell stock has a lot of power. And, "In The World Of Investments, Knowledge Is Power".
I have not started marketing the program yet, as I have a lot of work to do in the design of the website and the layout of communications to members. However, I have set up the database for those who want to get signed up. Again, it is 100% FREE, no strings attached.
