This is an assorted list of boring, under-followed micro-cap stocks. I look for high inside ownership and institutional ownership below 25%. The minimum market cap is 25mil, and the maximum is 500mil. High ROE is preferred and each stock must appear cheap by one or more traditional valuation metrics (i.e. P/E, P/S, P/B, etc..) It is required that none of these companies operate in "hot" industries, and might even be considered repugnant or obsolete by some investors. In addition, each company must occupy an unusual niche or geographical location that may not attract competitors. My thesis is that a basket of stocks exhibiting the above features will clobber the market, even if the success rate of positive returns is less than 50%.
