A hundred guys pooled $50 each to buy some land in Louisiana. To hunt ducks.
Two guys didn’t pay up.
So just 98 shares were ever issued.
They called this duck club...DELTA.
And those two guys who couldn’t find fifty bucks?
Well, they regretted it for the rest of their lives.
Because shortly after...something happened that was straight out of The Beverly Hillbillies. One of the Delta Duck Club guys shot down instead of up — and found oil.
LOTS of oil.
With one gunshot, 98 duck hunters became 98 OIL MEN.
Suddenly, shooting mallards and canvasbacks out of the sky was not a top priority.
They changed from a club to a corporation.
And named it Atled (Delta spelt backwards).
And within a few years…each man’s $50 share was worth just shy of THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
On top of that...
Each of the 98 guys was earning $11,000 a year in oil royalties.
So, as well as an insane capital gain...an income of $105,000 every year in 2025-money.
All from ponying up just $50 bucks!
It was around this time...in 1966...that THIS guy got a phone call…
You know him as the world’s most famous investor now.
Warren Buffett was much smaller fry back then.
But one of the Duck Club oilmen wanted to sell his share.
And wondered if young Buffett was interested. Warren ran the numbers…
And came to a conclusion. Even though by now it would cost him $30k entry in 1966 money...an Atled Corp share was still a cash machine — years before cash machines were invented.
Young Warren had no interest in duck hunting.
But THIS was a club he was going to join...
WHY ON EARTH SHOULD YOU CARE ABOUT THE DELTA DUCK CLUB STORY?
Because it proves something:
This is the premise behind a radical new project we’re about to undertake with the very smallest companies on the ASX. The micros and the nanos. Stocks well under $200m in market cap.
Where 100%+ swings in days are not uncommon.
Where a non-descript polyester manufacturer can flatline for two decades…then suddenly explode 3,600%.
Where a single ‘oil strike’ can set you up for life.
BUT ALSO…where you can blow out practically your whole investment if you pick a wrong ‘un.
If you’re up for the cocktail of risk, adrenaline and ambition…then enter your email address below…and join us on an expedition into the murkiest depths of the Australian stock market…

We’ll be looking for stocks like Intrusion Inc — an anonymous cybersecurity nano-cap that shot from $0.35 to $6.99 in just 14 days.
Do you have the risk-tolerance and mindset to start chasing outcomes like this?
Then join us for free. Just type your email address into any of the boxes on this page and hit the button — we’ll email you back with the full details.
Now, we’ve covered small caps and even micros with a $500m market cap before…but this is the first time Fat Tail’s ventured into waters this shallow.
We’re doing it now for a very good reason.
You should see the true insider we just recruited as our guide and stock-picker!
He’ll be using micro broker contacts…connections with wealthy private investors on the capital-raising scene…and first-hand experiences with some of the most successful ‘ticket-writers’ in the ASX micro game…
…to actively chase the ballsiest plays you’ll ever make in your investing life.
Get your name down below. And read on for the full rationale behind our upcoming ‘DUCK CLUB Micro-Cap Project’…

The Delta story shows how the most obscure investments can end up paying for your future. The Duck Club oilmen ended up selling the whole thing to a much bigger oil company.
Had they NOT sold...Buffett reckons those $50 shares would have been worth between $2 million and $3 million apiece by the turn of the century.
Think about that for a second.
$50 into $3 million.
This is the prize if you hunt for inefficiencies in the extreme-small end of the market.
Microcap and nanocap stocks...as you probably know... are the smallest...most thinly traded listed companies in the world.
Sometimes with market caps in the small millions.
Sometimes they’re companies you can’t even buy stock in...even if you’re lucky enough to hear about them.
These are companies where one poor decision or bad result can cause the stock to crater and delist.
Microcaps are like buying a lottery ticket with a side of dynamite.
But sometimes…you strike oil.
These are stories talked about in hushed awe years later...
Like the pioneering Aussie medical imaging company funded purely by the two doctors who started it. For years it was “going backwards and losing money”. If you got a call to buy shares in 2012 you could have done so for 25 cents.
Today those same shares are worth $282. A crazy return of nearly 113,000%.
Or the tiny Kiwi milk company where both founders died in the same year. (That’s a weird story for another day...)
Those in-the-know could get shares for 8 cents in 2010. Then these Kiwis broke the Chinese baby formula market.
And those 8 cent shares were worth over $20 ten years later
There’s the Aussie microcap who perfected ‘buy now/pay later’ before it was a thing. But their Duck Club moment was a long time coming...They looked like dead ducks.
Shut down their app. Fired the founders.
You could have bought shares in 2014 for 4 cents. By 2021 they were over 12 dollars. A gain of 35,500% in just 7 years.
Once upon a time there was also a little juice-maker. Just 12 employees, most of them squeezing juice.
They managed to list on the markets. And shares could be bought for 1 cent each in 1996.
Then someone had the idea to pivot to this new thing called ‘energy drinks’.
And by 2024, this 1 cent stock was worth $60...a staggering 600,000% return for early investors.
And the little financial tech upstart, again from New Zealand, where it’s estimated those lucky enough to get in pre-IPO...at the proper micro stage...may have gone on to make more than 1,100 times their money since 2007.
Now look...
These are not commonplace returns.
As Buffett himself says: “You have to turn over a lot of rocks to find those little anomalies.”
Well...starting 11am, Wednesday 25 June, we’re going to start turning over some rocks.
If you’re willing to tolerate huge risk and volatility…if you have a big dose of luck thrown in...AND...this is key...if you have the right network...you can do very well at this game.
As we’re about to show from Wednesday…
You need to KNOW the people in charge. You need to be familiar with board and management. You need to be on ‘have-a-beer’ terms with the specialist micro-cap brokers, CEOs and corporate advisors.
That’s the only way you can tell the difference between the good guys and legit players…and the sharks and pushy promoters.
You need to meet these characters. Have lunch, smoke a cigar with them.
Which brings us to a very special guest we’ve managed to bring in from the belly of the ASX micro-cap beast.
If you have ANY involvement in this tiny end of the local share market…you have probably seen his work before…or met him yourself.
…more on him shortly…
But make sure you get your name down now so you can meet him in person…

There’s an argument to be made that one phone call in ’66 — one relationship, one connection — altered the entire trajectory of Warren Buffett’s life.
He didn’t find this opportunity through research or analysis.
Someone who knew him picked up the phone.
“Atled had 98 shares and I bought one,” he later said. “Not what you call a liquid security...”
But as soon as Buffett got hold of one of those precious shares...things changed.
Later that year, he found the money to buy a 5% stake in a ‘little’ company called Disney.
By the end of the year, he’d outperformed the Dow Jones by 36%.
The Oracle of Omaha was off and rolling. And went on to achieve average annual gains of 20% — every year until 2024!
Put simply: A single ‘Duck Club scenario’ can radically alter your financial destiny.
As Jeff Bezos put it:
“Given a 10% chance of a 100 times payoff, you should take that bet every time.”
Now, we do run a specialist microcap advisory. You might not have heard of it because we hardly ever promote it. BUT EVEN THAT tends to tread in slightly safer waters of $300m to $700m market caps.
For this new project, we’re going even smaller.
Where a single announcement can make a stock double in days.
But where your risks of big or even total loss are amplified, too.
If you feel like you want to learn more about being a participant...it costs you nothing.
Once this project commences, we’re going to start naming stocks. Most trading in the low cents.
Zero guarantees. They might all turn out to be dead ducks.
You’re not compelled to buy any of them. You can even just paper trade them if you like.
But we’d like your active participation. And your feedback as you track our Duck Club Project going forward.
Obviously, this is not standard investing. This is speculating on extreme outcomes.
But should we get a bullseye...well, you’ll be as glad as those 98 duck hunters back in 1966!

We’ve pulled off a bit of a coup. And gotten hold of a player at the heart of the ASX micro-cap ecosystem…
We’re amazed to be working with him. We’ll keep quiet on his name for now. You can properly meet him when you register your interest.
Knowing what’s going on inside and around the microcap market is the secret to pinpointing price explosions.
Can the company get the money they need? What aces do they have up their sleeve? Who’s backing them? Are the board any good? What’s the reputation of the broker that led their last raise? What rich-listers hold shares in the company?
As you’ll see, our special guest sits at the heart of all of this…
If you’re at all involved with Aussie micro-caps, you’ll probably know this guy or at least his work.
For four years he hasn’t been able to put his name to his research reports.
People would only find out that the reports were his when they met him face to face.
And we know how special it is to get him to spill his guts. He knows guys and sees things others don’t…
Here’s one example…
“There’s this very cheerful biotech-focussed corporate advisor who works for a firm that does big tickets in Sydney. We keep in touch and he’s fond of doing his best pitches when you’re next to him at the urinal around Christmas time…”
That sounds silly. But that really is how this world works.
Now…
*** TO BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAR ***
This is in no way, shape or form anything to do with insider trading.
Our guide here does not handle material non-public information — that’s way out of bounds. But he moves in circles we don’t. And uses contacts and experience to make calls on certain opportunities.
He’s spent years vetting seed, pre-IPO and listed companies. Getting on-site. Getting to know the serial winners on a first-name basis.
(Oh, and on the side he’s about to finish a 6-year PhD in Economics!)
For instance, we’ll be looking at:
*** Three potential ‘Duck Club’ scenarios sitting at the bottom of the ASX, right now.
*** The power of knowing more than the other guy (informational asymmetry).
*** How the Aussie micro and nano-cap ecosystem REALLY works…it’s like the Great Barrier Reef, where all the different organisms work together…
*** Price explosion catalysts most people have no idea about…a whole web of interactions and fine print most can’t see or don’t pay attention to when they read ASX announcements…
*** The dodgy side of micro-caps exposed. Like ‘Finfluencers’ working the edge of the regulatory environment…and brokers with a reputation for ‘flipping’…
*** How scarcity drives value. And the most scarce and low liquidity stocks on the ASX that have big projects but no eyeballs on them. Projects that could make it into the mainstream Australian press if a few results go their way …
Honestly, this project is going to completely change how you think about the stock market.
We’ve been in this game for decades, and WE’VE had our minds blown by some of this guy’s revelations!
So if you think you want to be a part of our new Duck Club Project when it goes live from 11am, Wednesday 25 June, just whack your email into the box below, and we’ll see you then!
