‘In the next century, planet earth will don an electric skin.

‘It will use the internet as a scaffold to support and transmit its sensations. The skin is already being stitched together. It consists of millions of embedded electronic measuring devices: thermostats, pressure gauges, EKGs, electroencephalographs.

‘These will monitor cities and endangered species, the atmosphere, our ships highways and fleets of trucks, our conversations, our bodies — even our dreams.’

Gross made his prediction a century after Tesla.

But they were both talking about the same thing.

A world in which every single thing you can imagine is connected as part of one big techno-network.

The numbers back this up.

In 2009, the number of connected devices worldwide surpassed the number of people for the first time.

In 2016, there were 15 billion.

This year, there’ll be 46 billion…

And according to Stanford researchers, by 2030 there’ll be 500 billion!

This is the fulfilment of Tesla’s final prophecy.

The ‘world brain’ is powering up.

According to Accenture research, the ‘connected devices’ economy will be worth $14.2 trillion by 2030.

It’s a tech trend of truly epic proportions

And I think I’ve found a smart way of playing it…in the shape of a tiny, ASX-listed tech firm.

What does this little company do?

It’s at the forefront of a technology that’s critical to the rollout of smart devices worldwide.

See, what actually makes all these billions of devices ‘smart’ is the microchip technology inside them.

This in itself is big business.

For half a century, microchips have been getting exponentially smaller…faster…and cheaper.

A great example of what I mean: the smartphone in your pocket right now is likely at least twice as powerful as the computers that NASA used in the moon landing.

The next company I want to tell you about is at the forefront of this trend.

It is developing a state-of-the-art memory storage technology that could be critical to the rollout of smart devices worldwide.

It’s one of the most exciting companies I’ve ever found.

In fact, according to one group of analysts, this company’s revenues are forecast to grow by more than 10,000% between 2021 and 2026.

You read that right: 10,000% revenue growth…in just five years.

You don’t see that often, even with small companies.

But when you look at what this ASX-listed tech firm has developed…you begin to see why.

It is pioneering something called ‘non-volatile memory’ storage.

Put simply, it’s a new way microchips can store information, using smaller, faster and more resilient technology.

And it could have big implications for the technology world in the near future.

In fact, pretty much any way you look at it, it’s a superior technology.

That’s because non-volatile memory technology is:

Much smaller than the current industry standard. Right now, most memory tech is known as ‘flash’ storage. The problem is, this technology doesn’t really go any smaller than 28 nanometres. That’s pretty small. But in a world where EVERYTHING is connected, we’ll need to go smaller. This company’s storage can go right down to 4 nanometres — more than 80% smaller.

Longer-lasting and resilient. This company’s chips can retain information for 10 years and operate at temperatures of 150 degrees. When it comes to ‘smart’ industry and transportation — and other technology operating in extreme conditions — that’s invaluable.

Much smarter. This company’s memory technology is modelled on human brain synapses, meaning it could be critical to building ‘artificial intelligence on a chip’ in the future. In a world where everything is truly smart — from cars to home appliances to healthcare devices — that’s going to be critical.

In other words…this company has developed technology that could be crucial to the next generation of smart connected devices.

And its revenues could be about to ‘go vertical’ in the near future, climbing from just a million dollars this year…to more than a hundred million in five years’ time.

The upside potential is huge.

Want to know more?

I hope so.

It’s another example of what I’ve been telling you about:

A small, innovative company pursuing a BIG opportunity.

It’s exactly the kind of situation I share with my readers at Australian Small-Cap Investigator — a monthly advisory dedicated entirely to these kinds of high-risk, high-reward situations.

If the stocks I’ve told you about so far have you itching to take a punt, then I think you’ll love the work we do.

It doesn’t matter how much you have to invest — whether it’s $500, $1,000 or $10,000 — if you have the appetite for risk, our mission is to uncover Australia’s best small-cap opportunities for you.

We’ve been doing this for over a decade now.

In that time, we’ve told our readers about some barnstorming stocks…long before the average investor heard about them.

There’s a good chance you know about Afterpay Ltd [ASX:APT] today.

It’s one of Australia’s real success stories — a high-tech fintech twist on ‘buy now, pay later’. Shares are up by roughly 5,000% since 2016.

What’s so special about 2016?

Well, in June of that year readers of Australian Small-Cap Investigator heard all about Afterpay — or Touchcorp, as it was called back then.

Specifically, they heard about an ‘opportunity most investors don’t see’…and a tiny start-up that could ‘tap into a tiny fraction of this opportunity, they could become one of Australia’s leading global payment companies.’

Here’s what happened next...

Source: Google Finance

Afterpay is now a billion-dollar company.

And Afterpay shares are currently trading north of $100.

Shares changed hands for $1.53 the day Australian Small-Cap Investigator tipped them. 

The day we issued a ‘sell’ alert, they were 1,448% higher.

Incredible.

But that’s the kind of potential we’re talking about with these smaller companies.

Of course, not every company performs like that. Afterpay is an extraordinary company. But it’s the perfect example of what we’re aiming to do with every stock we select.

Bellamy's Australia Ltd [ASX:BAL] is another great example…

Back in 2014, our analysts thought Bellamy’s was about to hit a ‘critical inflection point’…that would result in a very possible upward rerating of its stock price.

Its organic branded baby food was quickly winning market share from old-style competitors.

Look. I know baby food doesn’t exactly scream ‘life-changing investment opportunity’.

But that’s EXACTLY the point.

These smaller, innovative companies can be doing ANYTHING.

We don’t care. All we want to see is the potential for a small stock to do BIG things. And
that’s exactly what we saw back in 2014.

Premium and ultra-premium segments of the baby formula market were growing at a rate of knots. And for Bellamy’s, it was a case of right place, right time, and right strategy.

And Australian Small-Cap Investigator readers got in relatively near the beginning of this massive success story…

Based in Launceston, Tasmania, Bellamy’s traded on the ASX for just $1.40 when we first spotted it.

It had a market cap of just $133 million.

Readers who bought the recommendation could have nailed 575.7% in 14 months.

Roughly speaking, that’s enough to turn a $5,000 stake into more than $30,000.

In a little over a year.

Not bad, eh?

Not everything we pick plays out like that. We‘ve had plenty of losers over the years. That’s part of the game with small-caps.

You shoot for gains like those I just told you about — knowing you’ll take a few losses on the chin on the way.

That said, our recent record is pretty extraordinary.

In the five-year period from June 2016 to July 2021, our average gain across 67 individual speculative recommendations is 34%.

That includes winners and losers, across all opened and closed positions, in that time frame.

Any professional investor will tell you that over five years…picking more than a stock a month the entire time…and in the highly volatile small-cap space…a 34% average gain is quite remarkable.

That said, the recommendations we make in Australian Small-Cap Investigator are not meant to be managed like a portfolio. Instead, they are to give you our idea of where we believe the most promising companies of the future are emerging while they still trade for cents.

And like I said, losing trades come with the territory when it comes to small-caps.

For every stock that makes 1,000%...there are plenty that lose 50%...70%...even very occasionally 100%.

But you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, as the saying goes. And to be in the running for those game-changing returns — you have to be prepared to take a risk.

And those risks are extremely well rewarded when you hit upon our best performing trades, like Afterpay (1,448%), Pointsbet Holdings Ltd [ASX:PBH] (231%) and Zip Co Ltd [ASX:Z1P] (886%).

Luckily, we have a good bunch of readers who understand this pretty well.

They come from all walks of life, and follow our work for all sorts of reasons…

Some folks want to find Australia’s next top company:

MM, Adelaide, SA

And some people just enjoy the kinds of returns we’ve been able to help them make:

MV, Piara Waters, WA

AK, Mulgrave, VIC

 NFE, Chiswick, NSW

Will you be the next person to write in with a message like that?

I hope so.

Because today I’m inviting you to try our research out for yourself, with no long-term commitment whatsoever — starting with the seven companies I’m most excited about right now.

I’ve already told you about two of them.

But before I get too far ahead of myself…let’s look at stock number three together, shall we?

And as you can imagine — with remote work rapidly becoming the norm for billions — the company is right in the middle of a white-hot period of growth.

Its revenues grew by 63% last year alone.

Not only that, they’ve grown by more than 1,650% since 2015.

And I think that trend looks set to continue.

But I’ve said enough.

You can get the name of this stock — and the other stocks I’ve already told you about — in a brand new report I just finished writing called ‘Seven Potential ASX Wealth Accelerators for the 2020s’.

This report is yours today, if you want it.

But before I show you how to get your own copy, I should really introduce myself properly.

As I said earlier, my name is Murray Dawes

I started my career in 1993, trading futures for a Swiss bank.

Here’s a picture of me on the trading floors back then.

It’s a little grainy…but it was a long time ago.

In the three decades since, I’ve traded and invested in pretty much every kind of market you can imagine.

Stocks, bonds, commodities, options, futures — you name it, I’ve traded it.

And I’ve lived through some pretty extreme market events, like the dotcom boom, September 11, the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID bust and recovery.

These days, I don’t work for a hedge fund or family office.

I work for people like you.

By that, I mean I share my best investment and trading ideas with private investors who want to make better, smarter decisions with their money.

I’m hoping that’s you.

Because if I’m right, I have a proposition for you.

A very compelling one, I hope.

I’d like to invite you to try Australian Small-Cap Investigator for yourself.

Because let’s face it: I can tell you how excited we are about the stocks we’ve found until I’m blue in the face.

But what it’s not what I think that matters…

It’s what YOU think.

Only you can decide if our research is as good as I say.

And to make that call, you need to try it out.

See it with your own eyes.

Kick the tyres, as the expression goes.

So here’s what I propose.

Give Australian Small-Cap Investigator a try today. The second you become a member, you’ll get access to the report I’ve been telling you about, ‘Seven Potential ASX Wealth Accelerators for the 2020s’.

This report contains everything you need to know to buy these stocks. It’s all there for you. All our research. Our analysis. The risks, the potential rewards — everything.

That report is yours, right off the bat.

And you’ll also get instant access to all this:

• ‘A Beginner’s Guide to the Australian Stock Market: How to Buy and Sell Shares on the ASX’
• ‘Why Right Now is a Small-Cap Punter’s Paradise (and how to invest in them smartly)’

That can all be yours, in the next few minutes.

Don’t worry about the cost.

A one-year subscription, including everything I just mentioned, plus twelve monthly issues of our work, each with a new stock opportunity — comes to $149.

But right now you can try our work out for half the normal rate. You’ll pay just $69 for an entire year.

Why so cheap?

Well, to be honest, our business really only works if our subscribers stick with us for the long term. But we realise you've got to try our work first, to see if it's right for you.

And that's why, through this letter, we're making it so cheap to try.

What I mean is, you'll have the next month to take a look at everything we send you, protected by a money back guarantee.

If for any reason you decide my work is not right for you, just let us know and you can receive a full refund of the subscription cost...and keep everything you've received.

In other words, by taking me up on this offer, you are giving yourself the opportunity to TRY my work to see if you like it.

I reckon it will be one of the best financial moves you ever make.

Why?

Because NOTHING beats the thrill of finding the next superstar stock long before the rest of the market catches on.

It’s pretty addictive.

You hear about a cool little company doing something new or unusual in the pages of Australian Small-Cap Investigator…

You take a stake, using capital set aside for high-risk, high-reward situations…

Then you wait…watch…and see what happens.

Sometimes something happens — a set of results, a product launch, a big new partnership — that makes the market ‘wake up’ to what’s going on.

Other times it’s less clear-cut.

Either way, we want to find stocks that could become tomorrow’s household names — and buy them early.

It’s simple. It’s great fun. And when it comes off, it’s like no other feeling.

Of course, I wouldn’t be doing my job properly if I didn’t tell you about the risks too. Risk is part of investing. Small-caps are higher risk than many companies. That’s the trade-off. You take the risk of losing some or all of your investment. But you know if things go well, you have the chance to make a lot of money.

That’s why you should never invest money you can’t safely afford to lose. There are no guarantees here.

I’m lucky enough to have some of the best analysts around working with me at Australian Small-Cap Investigator.

For example, I work closely with Ryan Clarkson-Ledward…a man who has a great track record of picking small-cap winners in his own right.

Like VEEM Ltd [ASX:VEE]…an ASX-listed manufacturer that makes stuff most people have never even heard of.

Like a ‘gyroscope stabiliser’.

Ever heard of that?

Unless you work in the shipping business, you probably haven’t.

But, in its niche, VEEM is a top performer. It has ties to the Australian military and big shipbuilders like Damen Shipyards.

Ryan joined the dots on VEEM’s business for Australian Small-Cap Investigator readers in April 2019. It’s currently up 117%. And Ryan reckons there’s more to come.

Though of course not all of our picks perform like that, it’s more proof of what I’ve been telling you about: finding small-cap companies excelling in their field before the wider market does is one of the most exciting ways to invest your money.

But it’s not just all about the feeling. The numbers back me up: small-cap investing is one of THE best ways to ‘juice’ your long term returns.

A Schroders report in 2019 proved this pretty emphatically.

It showed that, between 1966 and 2019 the group of small-cap shares studied beat large-caps hands-down in both the US and Britain.

In the US, a $100 investment in large-caps in 1966 would have been worth $15,576 by 2019.

But this particular group of small shares returned four times as much, turning that same $100 into $56,323 in 2019.

This chart tells the US story — it compares the total return index for small-caps with the total return index for large-caps:

Source: Schroders

Massive outperformance by the small-cap index.

It’s the same story in Britain.

Here they compared the total performance of the bottom 10% of companies on the market…with the top 641.

Again, this group of small shares beat their large cap counterparts by five to one:

Source: Schroders

And it turns out that here in Australia, small-caps have a great history of outperforming right after bear markets like we saw last year.

The average return for small-caps in the six months after a crash has been 36% (represented by the S&P/ASX Small Ordinaries Price Index)...compared to 22% for larger stocks (represented by the S&P/ASX 200 Price Index).

Of course, smaller shares are riskier and much more volatile. That’s why you should only invest capital you can afford to lose.

Why is that?

I’d offer up three reasons.

1. Smaller shares have more inbuilt growth potential: it’s much easier for a $1 million company to double than a $100 billion one. This makes them riskier…but also more primed for growth.
2. Big players just can’t get into these smaller stocks. If you have $50 billion to manage, it’s hard to buy into a tiny $50m company without either sending the price berserk…or just taking the whole company over. So the vast majority of the ‘big money’ out there just can’t even access small-caps.

As Warren Buffett told Businessweek:

‘It’s a huge structural advantage not to have a lot of money. I think I could make you 50% a year on $1 million. No, I know I could. I guarantee that.’

Notable that Warren Buffett considers $1 million ‘not a lot of money’. But this is a man with billions of dollars under management. And his point is valid. Small-cap stocks are one of the last remaining places that the ‘little guy’ has an advantage over the big money. And we take full advantage of that.

3. Small-cap companies have way less analyst coverage. Many have NO analysts looking at them at all. An S&P Global Market Intelligence report from last year revealed just how little coverage smaller-cap stocks get, relative to larger-caps. As the report put it:

   ‘Analyst coverage for small caps is low. On average, only 5 analysts cover each company in the [small cap] MSCI ACWI ex US SC, versus 10 analysts in the [large cap] MSCI ACWI ex US.

   ‘About 20% of companies in the [small cap] MSCI ACWI ex US SC have no analyst coverage. Given the breadth and depth of the international small cap asset class (more than 4,300 stocks across 46 countries), there can be significant research costs incurred to invest in this space.’

In other words…20% of the time, no-one in the financial world is even paying attention to what these little stocks are doing.

But we are.

That’s our edge.

Accept my invitation today, and it’s YOUR edge too

Now look.

There are three more stocks I want to showcase for you.

But maybe you’re already with me.

Maybe you get it already — and you’re ready to take the plunge and give Australian Small-Cap Investigator a go.

If that’s the case, great.

Just hit this link, head to our secure order form and you’ll get everything I just told you about (everything included in this offer is laid out in black and white).

Just $69 will get you one brand-new share tip in each monthly issue for a year.

Ryan and I will tell you what we believe the risks and rewards are, when to get in, and what we think is a realistic target price.

PLUS, we’ll tell you what action to take on your existing shares, whether to buy more, sell completely, take a portion of profits, or hold your position for the time being.

You’ll also get regular email updates, where we pass on time-sensitive tips, developments or changes to your holdings.

$69 is nothing for all that.

But the lifeblood of it all is one thing: small, innovative companies pursuing BIG opportunities.
With that in mind, let’s dig into the next stock I’ve found for you.

But now a new revolution in transportation and logistics is beginning — and there are trillions of dollars at stake.

It’s not built around a new kind of boat, train or vehicle.

But around the operating system these logistics networks run on — what I call the ‘invisible railroad’.

See, there’s a mind-boggling level of complexity involved in tracking supply chains…shipping networks…and fleets of trucks and trains.

Anything that helps speed that process up — making it smarter or more efficient — can be incredibly lucrative.

For instance, the global logistics market is projected to be worth $12.9 trillion by 2027.

To put that into context, it’s almost twice as valuable as the entire global banking system.

So we’re talking big money here.

That’s where my next company comes in.

It runs a logistics ‘software as a service’ (SaaS) platform — a cloud-based software system that allows businesses to track stuff as it travels through the air…over the seas…down highways…and all the way to your door.

This is big business.

And the company’s software is already used by all kinds of businesses — from banks to bike couriers.

Sorry to sound like a broken record…but everything you need to know is in your copy of ‘Seven Potential ASX Wealth Accelerators for the 2020s’.

In short, you have a decision to make…

I’ve just given you a whistlestop tour of some of Australia’s most exciting small companies.

Now it’s over to you.

Do you want to share in the excitement — and profit if one of these companies ‘strikes it big’?

Or would you rather walk away and never know what could have been?

It’s your call.

If you want in…there’s just one thing you need to do.

Hit this link and we’ll get started right away.

But wait!

I haven’t told you about the SEVENTH stock I’ve found for you…

Let me quickly lay out the opportunity:
