The Case for Small-Cap Stocks:
4 Reasons to Buy Now

Small-cap stocks are a GREAT place to start if you're serious about rebuilding your wealth and securing your financial future.

But what makes small-cap stocks so spectacular?

Reason #1: Small-cap stocks always make the turn out of recession the quickest. They're already lean and mean, so every new contract fattens the bottom line.

Reason #2: The bear market stripped analysts from small stocks — hardly anyone is covering them anymore. This creates wonderful pricing anomalies and gives the individual investor a significant edge.

Reason #3: Earnings are a big no-show among the big blue chips this season. It's not just the Big 3 automakers — it's Cisco and Microsoft, too. Yesterday's innovators have become today's 3%-per-year-if-you're-lucky stocks. Meanwhile, innovative small-cap stocks sport earnings two, five, 10 times higher than the blue chips can manage.

Reason #4: Innovation hasn't vanished in America. In the last two years, a new generation of visionary leaders and brilliant rule-breakers has quietly emerged. They have very little in common with the dot.com con artists of the late '90s. Indeed, today's breed of globalinnovators reminds me most of the hard-nosed entrepreneurs who founded companies in the early '80s. Innovation hasn't vanished but, just like in the early '80s, investors aren't fully aware of these companies. That's your opportunity.
