Sonkin thinks that investing in the micro-cap world has become much different after the 2008 financial crisis.
Investors are still afraid of the illiquid nature of micro-caps after having seen prices go to levels that were impossible to sell during the financial panic. The valuations in the micro-cap sector still reflect the fact that institutional investors are afraid to be stuck in positions.
Sonkin believes that it is going to take time for these depressed valuations to recover and this liquidity discount to disappear.
