Small-Cap Stocks equips readers with the information and tools necessary to invest in small-cap stocks. By definition, small-cap stocks have a small market capitalization (the number of shares of stock outstanding multiplied by the price per share, relative to other publicly traded companies). Small-cap companies are commonly defined as those companies with market capitalization below $1.5 billion. It is often in these undiscovered stocks, overlooked by Wall Street analysts and the investment media, that the greatest upside lies.

A good small cap is often a young company experiencing fast growth, since its rate of growth on a percentage basis will almost always be faster than when it becomes a more mature company. But some gems are hidden among older companies whose shares fell out of favor when the company ran into trouble, but the company is now experiencing a comeback.

This book explains the specific strategies that investors need to use to successfully play the small-cap profit game. Since small-cap stocks are intrinsically more volatile, extra care must be taken to examine the fundamentals of these companies. The volatility stems from the relative illiquidity of the shares and occurs in small caps because there are simply fewer shares available to buy or sell on the open market. For the savvy and well-researched investor, this can lead to quick and sizable gains, as large price fluctuations can be triggered by the smallest piece of information..

From the supplier: Surplus line insurance is three times more risky than admitted underwriting, according to a report by Standard and Poor's Corp. However, foreign surplus line insurers are better capitalized with larger reserves than U.S. insurers. U.S. insurers underwrite about $8 billion of the $12 billion of surplus line market. The report also stated that U.S. companies are encouraged by the federal government to undercapitalize their insurance risks.

From the supplier: The increasing exposure of corporate directors and officers to liability for environmental damages has made their position riskier since most directors and officers liability insurance policies carry a pollution exclusion. The pollution exclusion is now becoming a disincentive to many people considering serving on a corporate board. State legislatures are trying to deal with the problem by changing laws regulating the liability for environmental damages to provide protection to corporate directors, The Superfund law should be reformed to eliminate this disincentive to membership on corporate boards in the name of fairness.
