The Harsh Truth About Micro-Cap Stocks and Quality Investing
Sep 17, 2026
The creator discusses the challenges of identifying quality in micro-cap stocks, emphasizing that strategies applicable to large caps often fail due to inherent risks like key man risk, customer concentration, and general fragility. They highlight that many micro-cap winners experience a "season of winning" rather than sustained long-term growth, often following a "Lassonde curve" pattern of initial discovery and rapid valuation expansion, followed by a fall. The creator also notes a perceived decline in the number of high-quality small companies going public.
