"I don't quite know what point you are making with the screenshot. Feel free to elaborate and I'm happy to comment. I'm also not really sure what you mean by overcapacity. They are at a very low utilisation - yes. That is a good thing (for us). It means they: a) won't have to spend much capex for a long time and b) will have excellent operating leverage as they scale. As utilisation goes up margins will quickly accelerate. That's great"

"Today @FBuschek appeared on @PipelineDataLLC's weekly stock show and introduced one of his favourite investments Intermap Technologies $ITMSF. The result The stock jumped up 15% on a red day. Was it price discovery or hype The jump was warranted according to Florian who has uncovered public information (in Indonesian) that indicates a high probability the company is going to win a huge project in August. This project could generate an annual revenue notably higher than the company's market cap at a 25%+ EBITDA margin. More details to follow on Monday."

Intermap - 0:40:45 to 0:51:30 Mark does a nice job summarising the investment thesis if you haven't heard it before. His technical perspective is insightful. Additionally Mark shared that he has a contact who believes Columbia is very interested in also signing up for Intermap's services. I hadn't heard about that and would be brilliant if it pans out. Crexendo - 1:17:30 to 1:20:15 I made the same technical call in our Breakout Investor community. Retracement looks finished. Looks like time to head"

"Some thoughts on $NXGL following the LD Micro presentation today. AbbVie - "This product is back on-line. We expect our first orders shortly at least for validation and verification. The project is moving forward". This is by far the most bullish language I have heard from Adam since last year. Yes timing is still unclear but seems like this project is now a when rather than an if again. My opinion - stock deserves a re-rate on that news alone. Silly George is now on a $5.5 - 6m run rate. You may remember I was recently excited that the CMO recently said they were at well over 5m. I had"

This is an insane valuation for a company: Likely growing 50%+ YoY for the next few years (at least). With a stellar balance sheet no leverage $2m in cash.

"As per this LinkedIn post $NXGL's Amazon TACoS (Total Advertising Cost of Sale) is now around 4.5%. I had no idea about how good this so I asked ChatGPT: For context most brands on Amazon operate with: - 1530% TACoS when theyre growing - 1015% when theyre mature and well-optimized - 69% is considered elite performance - Below 6% is extremely rare outside of a handful of dominant category leaders Seems pretty impressive to me."

"Nice to see such an immediate impact from $LCFY's shift from resellers to partners. Revenue grew $420k (ARR) within weeks; let's see how the trajectory continues. Also $300k worth of annual savings expected. Both metrics were better and much faster than I expected. For context I've included a segment from my recent article - my goal was from them to increase revenue run rate for the core business from $4m to $5m by the end of the year. They're halfway there in mid-Feb. I was also not expected additional cost cutting so the bar to profitability is lower than expected. $LCFY Locafy Introduces"

"$CXDO has been trending very nicely since early Jan and has really been the saving grace of my portfolio in Feb. There have been no big news items.

They are releasing earning imminently and the earnings call will be tomorrow. My expectations A typical solid quarter. Continued steady cash inflow growth margin improvement and allthatgoodstuff.

"$NXGL - another stock that just isn't acting like (I think) it should. No news in Feb but I wasn't expecting anything. We did have Adam CEO on a @BreakoutInvestr call. You should check it out if you missed it: Most important points are that the $ABBV deal seems set to get started in March. Other businesses seem to be doing well. I have no concerns at this stage. Consider the stock is trading at August levels from last year. Since then management has delivered very well.

"I have been happily buying more $HTCR this morning. Unbelievable that I get to buy more when we now essentially know (95%+ certainty): HeartCore Japan sale has gone through. Likely to now have an additional 12m or so cash on the balance sheet. There is no other plausible explanation here. And the company is showing it a) does not need the cash and b) is willing to return it to shareholders. This reduces a common risk I hear of the CEO making a big and bad acquisition and wasting the money. The risk reward just got so much better and I get to buy for the same price as last week Living proof"

"Right on cue $HTCR sells one of its weaker businesses (is better off for it) and receives $12m in cash - with a current market cap of $17m. As a reminder once Sigmaways goes too I think the remaining business can make around $7m in earnings a year on average assuming no growth and just continues on the same trajectory as it has been going on.

"Last week I made Intermap Technologies $ITMSF $IMP.TO a 10% position in my portfolio. It's nice to see it 17% up already but it has a long way to go. The short story is that @FBuschek (fellow @BreakoutInvestr) dug deep and found proof of a contract that other investors don't seem to believe is real given the current share prices. That informational advantage gives us an edge. While the core company is doing well and seems sensibly priced here this contract would generate huge levels of cash and upside for investors over the next [--] years.

"New writeup on $HTCR. I believe the company is about to be taken apart. Post transaction I think the company will have three quarters of its market cap in net cash and will be generating $7m net income on an EV of $6m. Short story: The company is about to shed its unprofitable businesses which have been obscuring the economics of their cash cow business. I anticipate a least one deal to go through in the next couple of months with a second to follow shortly afterwards. I do not believe the potential transactions are remotely priced in.

"I guess investors liked what they heard at LD Micro. $NXGL up 10% today so far up enough to break that important $2.75 resistance line. Some thoughts on $NXGL following the LD Micro presentation today. AbbVie - "This product is back on-line. We expect our first orders shortly at least for validation and verification. The project is moving forward". This is by far the most bullish language I have heard from Some thoughts on $NXGL following the LD Micro presentation today. AbbVie - "This product is back on-line.

"The end of the government shutdown is excellent news for $HTCR - it means that IPOs that were paused during the shutdown can resume. The CEO believes that two IPOs have a reasonable chance of happening before the year's end: - Libera Gaming Operations currently estimated to occur around Nov 21st is worth around $2m to HTCR. - a second IPO but I'm not sure which (I am less convinced on this one). They have three further IPOs in the backlog which are more likely to IPO around mid-next year. The pipeline of new deals is strong it would be great to see one close. As a reminder the company even"

"If you liked reading my Investing Philosophy article on Substack you'll enjoy Cameron's video discussion on my thesis. He discusses practical examples of companies that meet or don't meet the various criteria I look for which I didn't have space to do in my article but is just as if not more important than the principles.
