Who’s Robin Speziale?
Robin is an author, and DIY investor who lives in Toronto (Canada). He’s been researching, and investing in stocks since age 18 (it all started in his dorm room at the University of Waterloo in 2005). Robin built a $300,000+ stock portfolio before 30, and has written three (3) books on investing; Capital Compounders (2018), Market Masters (2016), and Lessons From The Successful Investor (2010).

What’s your focus?
Public growth companies that trade on the Canadian stock market (TSX, and TSX Venture). Company sizes range from ~$50M to $10B for the most part (micro / small / mid-cap stocks). There’s a greater focus on Small Caps and MicroCaps, because of their longer potential growth runways, high revenue CAGRs, illiquidity, and low analyst / institutional ownership. I’m always striving to find the next 10x bagger, getting in early to new companies. But I also don’t exclude any companies based on their size. Bigger companies can get bigger.

What’s your track record?
Since 2005, my stock portfolio has achieved ~15% compound annual returns. That means that my portfolio doubles every 5 years or so. I don’t aim for explosive growth, because that would open me up to way too much risk. I also only invest within my circle of competence, so that means no biotech, oil & gas, resource-based stocks.
