Contrarian Stock Talks Inaugural Edition: Wrap Up

Attendees at the first ever Contrarian Stock Talks webinar on Nov. 10 got to hear three exclusive long ideas:

Andreas Aen of Symmetry Invest A/S presented on Gaming Innovation Group, which trades on the gray market in the U.S. under stock symbol GIGI. “This is a company that we think is the cheapest one in Scandinavia right now,” Aen said, with price-to-earnings of free cashflow yield of 4.4 next year. “It’s basically priced for bankruptcy, despite the fact that it doesn’t have a lot of debt.”

Watch Aen’s presentation on our YouTube channel below. The full write-up is available on Symmetry’s website.

Maj Soueidan of GeoInvesting LLC discussed his thesis on Information Analysis, an OTC stock trading under ticker symbol IAIC. The IT software company “falls into the category of a quiet little nanocap company that noone really noticed” despite some “interesting developments” that have taken place recently.

Soueidan also mentioned Ocean Bio-Chem (NASDAQ: OBCI) as a stock that had just been added to GeoInvesting’s “Buy on Pullback” portfolio. That portfolio, which looks for overreactions in price movement, has seen seven previous iterations. OBCI is the first addition to the new vintage.

“There’s an assumption that because of the [COVID] vaccine, that some stocks where the growth were benefiting from COVID-19…would see an abatement of their growth.” While this is true for some companies, there are others that will continue to benefit from COVID, even if and when there is a vaccine.

OBCI, which creates maintenance products for the boating and RV industry, developed a product during the ebola outbreak. The product, a sanitation solution, benefited from COVID but when the vaccine news broke earlier this week its stock sold off. While it has since rebounded, Soueidan still views it as undervalued.

Season 2, Episode 33: Watch for ‘Blue Wave,’ Followed by Rotation Into Value Stocks

With Scott Colbert, chief economist, Commerce Trust Company

Scott Colbert, chief economist at Commerce Trust Company in St. Louis, rejoins the Contrarian Investor Podcast to discuss the state of the economy on the eve of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. 

In Colbert’s view, the economic recovery is “square root” shaped, with a quick bounce from the bottom followed by “the lazy L that comes after the easy V-part.” Politically, he anticipates a Biden victory and return of the Senate to democratic control. This will eventually lead to a higher tax rate for corporations, which together with a coronavirus vaccine will cause a rotation into value stocks.
