5 year chart on build a bear shows a 1,346% return

At first glance, I thought it was some meme stock bump but it looks like it's just solid fundamentals.

Google Finance Chart

Makes me want to look more into small caps but I don't have the time or requisite skill to find these needles in the haystack

Any other good examples?

That 5YR is wild, but it’s cherry picking from a point that Build a Bear was nearing bankruptcy.

All that return and it’s still only a $600M market cap.

Look at the return since going public and it’s been a dog, pun intended.

But there’s definitely companies out there that have been phenomenal companies to own outside of the “sexy” thematics, directly speaking.

The best returns will usually come from small and micro-cap stocks that eventually become mid and large cap stocks. The hard part is finding the unicorns that can actually make that happen.

They did a demo for us the other day with some of their new services and they've embraced a lot of new tech

Yeah. And you normally wouldn't think it would be these ones that have been around for a long time.

I’m like 20% small cap index funds. Half small cap value and half small cap blend. Makes it dummy proof.
