Small Caps

Small Caps are an excellent balance between overly speculative investing and calculated risk investing. When it comes to small caps, most of these stocks have managed to have enough success to get on the major exchanges, but many small caps still fly under the radar of major Wall Street analysts and media. With that in mind, there are hundreds if not thousands of small caps that offer an opportunity for investors to generate huge gains if spotted early in their lifecycle as a public company. However, some small caps trade under the radar for years before they do something that gains the attention of Main Street.

Small caps, defined as a stock with a market cap of less than one billion but more than 250 million, are usually the investment vehicle of choice for investors and fund managers who are looking to allocate at least a portion of their portfolio toward ideas that have the potential to yield much larger returns than those of their larger brethren, big caps. Small caps can be just as risky as penny stocks, OTCBB stocks and even pink sheets, so just because a stock is trading on a major exchange doesn’t mean there isn’t a tremendous amount of risk associated with it.

Identifying a list of hot small caps or a pegging which small caps are going to provide the best returns can be a daunting task. However, many of our SmallCap Network contributors and members spend countless hours breaking down and researching the next big small caps. The SmallCap Network brings you timely and well thought out opinions and research on small caps every single day of the work week.

Since timing is such a big part of investing in the right small caps, SmallCap Network contributors and members employ not only fundamental analysis of small caps, but also technical analysis of them as well.
