How to find new investments?

Small-cap focused blogs are some of the best hunting grounds for idea generation.

Here are 10 new blogs I’ve been tracking over the past year 👇 Image
1/ @TenvaCapital's blog is a great source of deep-dive writeups on small & mid-cap Australian names.

Posts are research-heavy, clearly structured, and focused on undervalued companies with strong earnings momentum. Image
Recent posts on Tenva Capital:

$PNC.AX: Turnaround on the cusp of a major step-change in earnings, driven by improving industry fundamentals.

$SHV.AX: Only listed almond pure play, benefiting from reshaped S&D as California’s groundwater cuts hit 76% of global supply.
2/@thewritser's recently launched a special-situations focused blog.

He is a sharp event-driven investor with a long history on fintwit. His blog writeups are short, clear, and easy to follow. Image
Recent posts on Stocks and Stuff:

$GLXZ – Merger arb with Evolution AB; antitrust risk priced in, but strong IP licensing model + debt refi make standalone attractive.

$HOOK – Liquidation play; assets sold to Gilead, delisting/illiquidity create mispricing with 15–20% IRR.
3/ @Mike10947310 frequent deep dives on stocks with 2-year upside potential.

Special emphasis on event-driven, reflexive, and microcap situations. Image
Recent posts on Multibagger Monitor:

$FEIM: US PT&F leader; LEO + “Golden Dome” tailwinds; early quantum-sensing foothold; trades at multi-year low multiples.

$AMPG – ORAN 5G LNAs/radios; $118M LOIs from 2 Tier-1s; trading at 1x NTM EV/Revs despite 125% growth
4/ @310Value shares deep-dive writeups on undervalued Canadian and US stock.

Transformation stories with a catalyst and classic value stocks. Long form write ups with easy to follow structure. Image
Recent post on 310 Value’s Newsletter

$SES.TO: Secure Waste Infrastructure (ex-Secure Energy). Repurchased 25%+ of stock, attracted new investors, and re-rated, yet still at 7.9× 25E EBITDA vs waste peers in teens. Few catalysts remain potential upside 70%.
5/ @adriantford write ups on the smallest, most illiquid, and least-followed public companies globally.

Value stocks as well as special sits. Short to the point pitches every other month. Image
Recent post on Overlooked and Undervalued:

$ULT.L: UK consumer goods group (Salter, Beldray, Russell Hobbs license). Capital-light, founder-led, history of growth. Trades ~7× EBIT. European expansion + efficiency gains offer upside, insiders own >40%.
6/ @ppinvest shares value + momentum-driven writeups on overlooked small caps.

No industry or geography limits: focus is on growth and inflection stories. Image
Recent post PPinvest:

$NURS.V / $HYDTF: “Uber for Nurses.” Revenue grew from $3M ’22 → $16M ’24, now profitable. Scalable SaaS telehealth platform (VSDHOne) positions it for explosive growth; multibagger upside already starting to work out.
7/ @AnotherBio busted/overlooked biotech focused investor.

Catalyst-heavy US biotech deep dives. Clearly structured writeups. We cross paths on plenty of busted biotech, that's for sure. Image
Recent post on BiotechBonanza:

$PTGX: Peptide developer (JNJ/Takeda partners); 2 FDA-bound drugs (high PoS); cash-secure, no dilution risk; JNJ drug alone > EV, rest is free optionality with a clear path to 3x returns in 18 to 36 month.
8/ @RohanSoor shares deep dives on overlooked stocks without industry or geography focus.

Mostly microcap value stocks as well as special situations. Image
Recent post on Central Tendency:

$BGO.L: Leading payments co trading at ~7.5× EBITDA; profits inflecting as SaaS subs (+100% YoY) scale; long runway, recent integration drag fading.
9/ @RealAssetsValue focused on US & Canada REITs.

Primarily value plays, but also catalyst-driven setups. Deep real estate market understanding with detailed and clear financial modeling. Image
Recent post on Real Assets, Real Value

$VRE: NJ waterfront apartment REIT trading at >25% discount to NAV, 1/5 of portfolio sold or under contract, potential M&A target.
10/ Triple S Special Situations focused on distressed equity and special sits, with a recent skew toward international arbitration bets.

Mostly deep dives, without a specific geographical focus. Image
Recent post on Triple S Special Situations Investing:

$EQX.AX: Australian miner turned into a litigation play; $30m mcap vs. $529m–$2B Congo ICSID claim (95% to shareholders, no funder). Final hearing Nov ’25; potential Guinea claim is free upside.
End/ That’s it for today. Thanks for reading.

Part 2 is likely coming soon, as I’ve left out a few more blogs worth mentioning.

And of course, any hints on other candidates are always welcome.

10 best ideas from Q1 2025 investor letters.

Quite a few interesting picks with a couple of potential multibaggers.

Let’s dive in👇 Image
1/ $KITS pitch by @GreystoneCap

An e-commerce optical retailer led by Roger Hardy, who previously built and sold Coastal Contacts to EssilorLuxottica. With 35%+ rev growth, 70% repeat customers, and in-house manufacturing, the model scales with strong margins and limited capex.
By selling contacts first, $KITS built sticky, recurring revenue, then layered in glasses, now growing 40%+ annually. Vertical integration, no retail footprint, and efficient fulfillment drive low costs, high satisfaction, and improving unit economics.

10 best ideas from Q4 2024 investor letters.

Quite a productive end to the year, with several great ideas.

Let’s dive in!
👇 Image
1/ $NRP pitch by @GreystoneCap

A coal royalty biz run by an aligned management with a 30% stake, trading at 4-6x normalized FCF, with a 90% FCF margin and strong durability across different coal price environments, supported by at least 40 years of reserves in the ground.
Beyond its core biz, $NRP has two major sources of optionality. First, it owns 49% of the world’s leading low-cost soda ash producer—a key commodity for glass, chemicals, and more. Based on the 2023 buyout price for the other 51%, this stake alone represents ~35% of $NRP’s mcap.

Finished going through all hedge fund pitches made on this account in 2023.

Below, you'll find a list of my top 10 favorite picks that are still actionable.

1/ $MCB.L pitch by @alluvialcapital

A major European producer of private-label laundry detergents and dishwashing liquids, the company was challenged due to COVID and the subsequent inflationary aftermath while being stuck in long-term supply agreements with retailers.
MCB survived by cutting costs and repricing supply agreements. Now, economic trends are moving strongly in its favor, with EU consumers switching to private-label due to persistent inflation. Yet, co continues to trade at just 4.5x EV/EBITDA

One of the best ways to generate ideas in special sits is by following certain activist funds.

So, here is my go-to list of 10+ small/mid-cap activist funds to follow.

I scan these regularly and have made a handful of lucrative picks already.
👇 Image
1/ @CapitalVoss

Highly reputable small/mid-cap value-focused fund with a solid activist background and a CAGR of 17% since its inception in 2011. Voss's usual playbook is to take a board seat and push for either an outright sale or a partial segment sale, as seen with $GFF.
One of Voss Capital's recent campaigns is with $IMXI. Back in September, Voss filed a 13D, noting discussions with management on ways to maximize shareholder value. A few weeks later, IMXI announced a strategic review with a potential sale in mind.

10 best ideas from Q3 investor letters.

Quite a few interesting picks with multibagger potential this quarter.

Let’s dive in👇 Image
1/ $HAI.TO pitch by @AtaiCapital

Leader in video streaming infrastructure space. Its Secure Reliable Transport (SRT) protocol has become the industry standard, enabling high-quality, reliable, low-latency video. Gross margins consistently exceed 70% despite being a hardware Co.
Haivision's growth is driven by its defense contracts (e.g., $82M U.S. Navy deal), enterprise clients like Microsoft, and a pivot to a scalable channel partner model. These initiatives, coupled with software and service expansion, position the company for sustained growth.
