Peter Hodson

After six tough years in the small and mid-cap world, investors are finally taking notice of faster growth and low valuations in the sector. Last year, small and mid-cap valuations got below pandemic lows and very close to the 2008 financial crisis lows. Relative to large caps, small caps are about as cheap as they've ever been. In this presentation, Peter James Hodson will examine what caused the decline, the catalysts for improvement, and what lies ahead. He will also reveal and discuss some of his favourite US and Canadian small and mid-cap companies. 

Doom and gloom once again rule the markets, with wars, inflation, high interest rates, corporate scandals, weak earnings, and dozens of other reasons to sell. But investors can always find reasons NOT to buy stocks. Let's put on the rose-colored glasses and look for some positives today, against the backdrop of negativity. There are no guarantees, but buying when 'everyone hates everything' usually works out well for investors, if they have some patience.
