Dear friend of NBT,
It mostly goes unsaid in publicly listed emerging growth stock investing, but it shouldn't: we are investing in PUBLIC venture capital and, to a lesser degree, PUBLIC private equity deals.
Most of the APO emerging growth microcap deals we look at—i.e., Alternative Public Offerings where the company has gone public via a reverse merger or Form-10 filing without an underwritten deal—are either relatively new companies who have chosen to fund their start-up capital via public markets or are established companies looking to finance their "going to the next level" strategy with a round of public private equity funding.
For example, call Mimvi (MIMV) public venture capital and fast revenue growing companies like GlyEco or Pulse Beverage public private equity plays.
We recommend you keep your public venture capital and private equity investments to 5-10% of your overall portfolio—that's the right allocation. Here's why.
You HAVE to understand the venture capital "VC" formula is 6-2-2: this means out of ten VC investments 6 will eventually break even or go nowhere…2 will blow-up and go to zero…and 2 will WIN with hopefully ONE bringing the BIG 20-30-100 gains that makes the entire strategy LIFT your entire portfolio.
That is the magic of what I call "DIY Adventure Capital"—with a little help from NBT you CAN hold a few of the 10-20 baggers in your DIY Adventure Capital portfolio—and those gains super charge your entire portfolio.
Plus let's admit the obvious—for those of us who love the game of finding and investing in emerging growth companies; it's a LOT more fun than buying bonds.
Emerging growth investing—let's call it what it REALLY is…mid-to-late stage Public Venture Capital with ALL the drama and glory played out in PUBLIC as opposed to privately held venture stage companies.
