The Small Talk series focuses on selecting companies that meet the definition
of small and mid sized companies as defined by BetterInvesting.
A small or mid cap stock is presented and discussed, then evaluated objectively by a strict
set of criteria. Attendees provide input to form a consensus judgment as
we complete the SSG together. Directors from the chapter will work through the
process of finding, evaluating, and selecting small companies.
Companies presented are placed in a virtual portfolio on Manifest
Investing, with each new addition beginning with $1,000. The link to
tracking of the performance of each of the selections over time can be found
here.
