20 Sep 2023Thanks for all you do. Re MUSTKEK, if I’m reading right, the plan is to decrease inventory and release cash to pay off debt. That could reduce finance costs by half, and they could make 30% more profit in the coming year just on that saving alone. Seems like a very good investment. What do you think?

20 Sep 2023At this valuation multiple, small gains will be rewarded and big gains will be PROPERLY rewarded. So the plan sounds great but of course if it was that easy, then there would be no risk in investing. Clearing inventory at proper gross margin into this economy isn’t that simple. But as small caps go, I would say that Mustek is one of the more interesting options. You should probably dig into the balance sheet and look at how much of the debt has floating rates. If the numbers still look good assuming another rate hike or two, that builds in a margin of safety.
