The world, including your customers, prospects, and investors have become hyper-needy for information. Many businesses have slowed or are doing what they can from remote offices, their contact with the thoughts of others is much lower than it had been. At the same time, their wanting to understand is high. One way you can firm your relationships with those you most want to continue to engage when this is over is through filling their need for content.
Here are three thoughts for finding the best topics to develop meaningful content and build readership that will want what you offer them next time.
Meaningful
Your readers don’t need to be told what they just heard or read at a news source with journalists and deep resources. What they can benefit from is that information distilled through the lens of your expertise. Before writing on a topic, ask:
Then proceed in writing from the angle of how what is going on impacts or is impacted by a piece the journalist would not have covered. Your business has its own niche. There is no reason to wander far from that niche to attract who you want to.
Brevity
If you’re writing about the Novel Coronavirus and you are certain 99.99% of your audience doesn’t need an explanation what it is, don’t spend a paragraph defining the situation. Ten years from now someone may come across your content and benefit from the explanation, today’s readers are who you are writing for.
Keep in mind the person reading your blog post, article, or email update wants to skip to the meat. Readers aren’t returning to you because you give them the obvious, they are there because you are provide uncommon insight.
Brevity, as used here does not necessarily mean brief. if you can go beyond what is readily available. If you have particular expertise in an area that is not otherwise being covered, make that information known. Just be as concise as possible, no one has time to waste on “common knowledge.”
Take-Away
Self-promotion during times of national crisis is a turn-off to readers. However, strengthening your relationship with certain people is important to your company. If the piece is useful and holds your firm out as having expertise in the subject, if the reader develops a hunger for something else from your company, you’ve satisfied your content goal. Don’t ruin it by trying to “close the deal.” At the end of your posting, remind them what they need to remember about what they read. This shows you care that they have understood the salient points.
Developing or firming relationships with those that may have never heard of your company is easier when we’re surrounded by turmoil. The bright side of turmoil is it provides opportunities to “meet” those that may not have heard of your business before. During periods of “business as usual” your target is doing what they usually do and not looking beyond that. This difficult business period we are all pushing through. As readers get to know you better through content, being genuine in helping fill a void and connecting what is going on a different, useful way, will cause them to open their door to you later on.

Small-cap and micro-cap stock investors know that bigger isn’t always better. This is one truth that’s agreed upon. But, markets (stocks, commodities, real estate, etc.) trade on buyers and sellers not agreeing. That is, one party deciding a particular price makes something worth selling, while another thinks it’s worth buying. These, of course, aren’t the only reasons people buy or sell. There are also investors that are creating or adding to a position they want to hold as a long-term investment, while at the same time, short-term investors or day-traders may be getting out of a position because it has already met, or no longer meets their trading criteria. The buying and selling, for whatever the goal, creates volume which adds to the ability to trade at a “fair” price.
Companies listed in the S&P 500 and other large corporations never seem to have a shortage of buyers and sellers. If an investor or trader is looking to execute shares in the index, they would expect them to be readily tradable. Buying or selling shares of smaller companies is often more challenging. Many small and micro-cap corporations don’t yet have the luxury of being as well recognized or as broadly traded. This can mean significant opportunity for investors who dig through research, learn about companies, then capitalize on inefficiencies that cause stocks to be unrecognized or improperly valued.
Recognition from analysts, the media, or Wall Street help to build knowledge of companies. This understanding leads to more efficient bid and offers in their shares. With that in mind, below are one-year charts of companies represented on Channelchek that are gaining more recognition. These YoY performance charts were chosen from 2019 to highlight companies that had relatively low volatility, while at the same time added shareholder value. As suggested earlier, some investors hold for many years, while others trade out of a position in minutes. One year’s overall trend isn’t the only yardstick worth reviewing. This is why the Channelchek platform allows you to set your own search criteria on almost 6,000 companies.

Everyone loves a dividend increase. Right? After all, it puts more money into the hands of investors and who doesn’t like more money? But in doing so, management is foregoing using capital that could repurchase shares, pay down debt, or invest in future growth opportunities. Is raising a company’s dividend a sign of improved company health? Or is it a sign that management does not have better options?

Noble Capital Markets Launches Small and Microcap Equity Research Contest; Up to $7,500 Awarded to Winning StudentAwards include cash prizes, internship with Noble Capital Markets, trip to NobleCon investor conference, and more BOCA RATON, Fla., Sept. 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NetworkWire – Noble Capital Markets Inc. announces the launch of its first College Research Report Challenge, designed to encourage college students to explore employment in the field of equity analysis. The Challenge calls for each participant to prepare an institutional-quality equity research report on one of the more than 6,000 small and microcap companies listed on Channelchek.com, a research resource featuring balanced news and commentaries, advanced stock market data, webcasts and podcasts, and equity research. Prizes awarded will include up to $7,500 to the winning student (or students, if the research is produced by a team); $5,000 for the winner’s college; a paid internship with Noble Capital Markets; video of the presentation ceremony featured on the NASDAQ Tower in New York City’s Times Square; and an all-expense-paid trip to South Florida to attend the 16th annual NobleCon investor conference, which will feature executive teams from 125 small-cap and microcap companies. NobleCon16 will be held Feb. 16-18, 2020, at the all-new $2.3 billion Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. The Noble Capital Markets Challenge is supported by high-profile sponsors including Salem Media Group, Tribune Publishing, NetworkNewsWire, and Kelly Staffing Services, as well as platinum sponsors NASDAQ and E.W. Scripps, which is well known for its National Spelling Bee. “We are very pleased to be part of this Challenge,” said Lisa Knutson, CFO and EVP of Scripps. “Our company places a high value on education, and this contest is an excellent way to encourage college students to get a better understanding of the research process and, at the same time, discover the important contributions of small, innovative businesses in our economy.” The idea for the Challenge came from a student enrolled in the Noble Capital Markets Analyst Internship Program. “He didn’t even have to finish the sentence before we jumped on the idea,” said Mike Kupinski, Noble Capital Markets director of research. “For a variety of reasons, we’ve seen a dramatic decrease in the number of graduates seeking employment as equity analysts. It’s actually a lot more exciting than it sounds, and this contest should provide a little more incentive for students to find that out.” In a trend that began two decades ago, small and microcap companies have found it increasingly difficult to attract equity research coverage. Regulatory constraints, technology, the explosive growth of passive investing (ETFs), and liquidity issues have erased the incentive for Wall Street to invest in research. Traditionally, research written by SEC- and FINRA-licensed and regulated analysts was available only to institutions. In an effort to combat this dramatic decline in coverage and to broaden distribution of independent analysis of small and microcap companies, Noble Capital Markets now offers its research, at no cost, to anyone who registers on Channelchek.com. “We’ve moved to a company-sponsored model that has allowed us to expand access to institutional-quality research and include groups who never received it before, like smaller investment advisors, family offices, independent brokers, self-directed investors and high-net-worth individuals,” Kupinski said. Contest Guidelines Contestants will be required to follow an established Wall Street format, including the following components: business description, headline and front-page bullet points (executive summary), investment appraisal, industry overview and competitive position, financial analysis, management and corporate governance overview, stock valuation, risk assessment, market rating and price target. The Challenge is open to students – without restrictions relating to age or academic specialization – who are registered at an institute of higher learning anywhere in the United States, Canada or the Caribbean. Contest registration closes Dec. 15, 2019, and the deadline for submissions is Jan. 17, 2020. The winner/winners will be announced Jan. 31, 2020. Entries will be judged by a panel of FINRA-registered senior equity research analysts from Noble Capital Markets who have industry accreditations, including “Best on the Street” as determined by the Wall Street Journal Survey. The full list of prizes as well as complete terms and conditions, required formatting and registration details are available at https://www.channelchek.com/college-contest.

A United-States-made capital goods shipments slowdown in the early third-quarter points to business investment troubles. Although new orders rose in July, shipments fell the most in nearly three years, indicating a continued decline in economic growth. Business investment contracted in the second quarter for the first time since 2016. According to Jerome Powell, uncertainty in trade policy could be playing a role in the decline of capital spending.
