Michael Fox interviews Bob Power on the Prospector Podcast live from the New Orleans Investment Conference. Fresh off his retirement from OTC Markets Group after 42 years working with U.S. exchanges, Bob discusses his new role at Sidoti & Company, a New York-based broker-dealer specializing in micro and small cap investments with a network of 2,500 institutional and family office investors. He explains how Sidoti’s virtual investor conferences — including the upcoming December 9th and 10th event — give metals, mining, and energy companies a platform beyond traditional shows like PDAC, featuring 30-minute presentations, virtual one-on-ones, company-sponsored research, and coverage that pushes company stories across Bloomberg, Cap IQ, Refinitiv, StockTwits, and Benzinga. Bob also covers why US analyst coverage matters when 90% of mining companies trade on OTCQX, OTCQB, NYSE, or NASDAQ, how Sidoti has filled the coverage gap left by shrinking commission dollars, the benefits of OTCQX listing and Blue Sky compliance for Canadian-listed (TSX/CSE) companies seeking American investors, and why critical metals and the mining sector will stay in the geopolitical spotlight regardless of the midterm elections.
