Description:
I am experimenting with investing in long-term/medium-term in promising microcap companies which will either grow or get bought out to the investor's benefit. Hopefully these have new technology or products or they are taking advantage of new technology to perform better in traditional roles. Selection criteria: 1. Product or service sounds OK; 2. Positive shareholder equity; 3. Positive current ratio; 4. Company current in its public reporting; 5. Stock under $10., preferably under $5. and over $0.10, preferably over $1 (however as of late '06 I removed any upper limit in order to increase the pool of decent stocks to choose from); one to two year stock price up or at least holding even. 6. A price to book ratio less than 3.0. 7. A price to sales ratio less than 5.0. As these financial criteria usually result in value stocks, rather than growth stocks, some companies are included if they do not meet all the criteria but have a competitive product and hopefully a good business plan. Why microcaps? Because A. they're fun to watch; and B. just to see if it can be done. I try to keep the group diversified as to sectors and styles; however it tends to be top-heavy in faster-growing sectors and in value style.
