Micro-Cap Stocks
Everybody wants to make a buck. Currency (and product) is the indicator of value that society has placed on
it; so it's a fact. Every person wants to make a buck. Most people work really hard and do all the things
they're supposed to do; find a partner, find a suburb, raise a family, retire at 63 , move to Florida, and die a
peaceful death. However, that's not for everyone. Many people want to pave their own roads in life; this
applies to the way they live their lives, the way they populate the Earth, and the way they make their buck.
If you think you are a genius and you can see value in something that someone has to offer, you should
consider becoming an investor in . Micro-Cap stocks may appear to be stock investing for the really poor
investor; but that's not usually the case. In fact, most poor investors don't want to risk their capital so they
will get into a stock which isn't going anywhere anytime soon; GE, Microsoft, Ford (phew! Going
anywhere, anymore), and they will invest a little bit in small positions of these stocks just to be a player in
the market.
Micro-cap stocks are stocks which have a market capitalization between $50 million $300 million. In
business terms this is a very small amount of money; some big shot investors may tell you you're probably
better off buying a lottery ticket than trading in the micro-cap market. However all great companies got their
start somewhere; so it is for the micro-cap stocks. Many smaller companies with great, innovative, products
will get eaten up by a bigger company which is good for most long term investors. Even better is when
smaller companies become larger companies of their own volition. While this can be a much more painful
(for the investor) process and can take considerably longer, this is not even always the case. Venture capital
can begin flowing in and micro-cap stock investors can look like the smartest cats in the room.
So before you go dismissing the micro-cap stocks you see trading for fractions of pennies, you should
consider the facts of the matter; GE, Microsoft, and Ford aren't making any speculative investors rich men
anytime soon (damn! $10,000 invested in Ford on November 19, 2008 could have been cashed out a little
more than a year later for $96,111) but if you chose to lay your cards out on the table and you do the
requisite amount of upfront research, you may be able to do alright investing in Micro-cap stocks.
