  • Amazing podcast

    David is truly one of the most knowledgeable people in the smallcap world. Every episode is packed with valuable insights and feels like a masterclass you can tell he genuinely understands the market at a deep level. It’s rare to find someone who can both trade and explain things this well. Thank you, David, for continuing to share your knowledge and experience with the community.

    Keep it up!

  • SOOOOO Glad To Be A Part Of FBU!

    I have seen a tremendous growth in my shorting abilities and thorough understanding of the fundamentals being a part of FBU in my first year! FBU came highly recommended to me by a friend, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone looking to take that first step in the right direction!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Shortfinder Small-Cap Dilution Masterclass at Friendly Bear Conference Mexico City
Q: What is the practical workflow for evaluating shelf capacity and related dilutive risk in Shortfinder before engaging with a stock?
Review shelf capacity and ATM activity, assess the percentage of float being issued, examine the terms of convertibles and anti-dilution features, and cross-check with historical filings to anticipate timing and magnitude of potential dilution.
Shortfinder Small-Cap Dilution Masterclass at Friendly Bear Conference Mexico City
Q: How do pre-funded warrants help investors avoid disclosure, and what implications does that have for liquidity and risk?
Pre-funded warrants allow investors to acquire exposure without owning shares until exercised, avoiding 13D disclosure for large positions; this creates an overhang that can be realized quickly once warrants are exercised, contributing to sudden selling pressure.
Shortfinder Small-Cap Dilution Masterclass at Friendly Bear Conference Mexico City
Q: In what ways can investors gauge the demand side for these offerings beyond price action?
Demand is most clearly reflected in the price at which offerings are priced and how that price moves relative to the stock's prior levels; if price supports the issue only at a discounted level, demand may be weak, signaling higher risk of further dilutive financing.
