MicroCap Desk · Terminal

The dilution-and-survival intelligence layer for U.S. microcaps.

Every covered sub-$500M name screened for what actually kills microcaps — shelf & ATM dilution, cash runway, Nasdaq bid-price risk, warrant overhang, going-concern flags — with insider-buying clusters on top. Signals and financials read straight from SEC EDGAR. A heatmap, a live filings wire, and side-by-side compare.

Live record: each call is logged at its entry price and re-scored daily against the current price from SEC-sourced data. Directional hit-rate counts Bull/Bear calls only; a move beyond ±5% resolves win/loss.

What it proves

Standing comes from being right, on the record, repeatedly.
Credibility > design
A documented hit-rate is the single most fundable thing a finance-media product can own.
Bear calls land hardest
Catching dilution and going-concern risk early is where this end of the market has no coverage.
Honest about misses
Showing the losses is what makes the wins believable to professionals.

How the scores are built

Transparency is the point. Every score below is computed from standard, auditable inputs — not a black box. Signals and financials are read directly from each company's SEC EDGAR filings (XBRL facts, submission history, and full-text search). Securities-lending metrics (short interest, cost-to-borrow) are intentionally not shown — there is no free, auditable source for them.

Dilution Risk Score (0–100, lower is better)

Adapted from the evidence-based microcap dilution scorecard: the need to issue equity is visible well before new shares appear.

Operating cash flowNegative operating cash flow → company likely needs outside capital (+22).
Cash runwayUnder 12 months adds risk; under 6 months adds more (+16 / +26).
Prior dilutionRising basic share count over the trailing year (+18).
Hidden dilutionFully-diluted rising faster than basic = warrant/convertible overhang (+14).
Shelf / ATMActive S-3 shelf (+8) and live ATM program (+10) = capacity to dilute on demand.

Factor grades (A+ to F)

Each name is graded on four axes versus the microcap cohort — Balance Sheet, Dilution, Runway, and Insider conviction — the same idea as quant factor grades, rendered as the health snowflake on each company.
