Datawatch: A Microcap Value Stock

“PVSW is like watching paint dry.”

Uncharted, this article was not about PVSW. But you helped make my point in the previous response. Its not sexy investing in micro cap value but you would agree if the goal is maximizing profit and not entertainment most professionals would kill to post the 8% steady gain realized by investing in a micro cap illiquid value stock like PVSW for the prior 12 months. The S&P index was down over 40% for the same time period. Boring yes ... rational market crushing investment returns yes.

I agree with your all your points.

Another view is the potential to find extraordinary bargains with illiquid stock can be significant. Countless investors are speculating/investing in a relatively small group of heavily traded liquid stocks. This greatly lowers our chances of finding long term wealth building value. The ignored and neglected illiquid stocks have a higher chance of presenting us with dramatically undervalued securities. So if your goal is to maximize wealth, logic would dictate that your research investment efforts are best spent with illiquid stocks that have been avoided by the public and Wall Street
