What’s your objective and what was the inspiration behind the name Grizzly Research?

Yeah, I think it was pretty, pretty simple. So Grizzly just a spare wheel, we got to know bull and bear, began a bit more on public publishing bearish reports. And Grizzly is a cool animal. And so it’s as simple as that. But ya know, we have a small team here, myself and then two analysts that working from our offices full time that are highly trained. We have one guy in Asia, who’s doing underground investigations and diligence interviews, visiting facilities, all this kind of stuff. And then, of course, a network of people that we work with. We concentrate on finding differentiated insights on publicly traded companies. And we’re looking probably more towards uncover fraud. So what we try to do is we spend a lot of work and time and resources on uncovering facts that, you know, companies might want to hide from investors.

And that of course, I think there’s more to find in that area than terms of good news, you know, companies have have a high incentive to put out good news in the press release and, and, you know, hit the ground and, and hide negative aspects from the public. This is where we found our niche where we will try and compete. And, you know, we specialise in trend finding these differentiated insights and data points, and a really meaningful and, you know, would be good to see for the public, but a little bit hidden.

Can you tell me about your overall approach and are you a short seller only focus now?

Yeah, so Grizzly Research is only focused on short selling. So that’s what we do here. Occasionally, we can with people that do mergers and acquisitions, and you know, for the buyer side, we consult or somebody tells us to say, you guys are really good at finding what’s wrong with the company. And we’re looking to acquire these as a service company. Could you guys please have a look and see, you know, if everything’s right there.

So, you know, it’s a little bit of the work that Grizzly Research does on the long side, but you know, really short focus out here, I think, an overall for myself, for example, personally, you know, I’m a patient vessel there and invest money that I really don’t need for, you know, a decade or more. And I like to buy and hold quality micro cap stocks for myself. But, again, that’s not the business that Grizzly research is doing.

Stay tuned for the full interview soon!
