This review is from: Mastering Microcaps: Strategies, Trends, and Stock Selection (Bloomberg Professional Library) (Hardcover)
Please purchase with caution. Someone with an advance understanding of investments will not find this book useful. More history and description of microcaps than acutal strategies or tips for selections.

Microcap Stocks Have Been Profitable For This Investor,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mastering Microcaps: Strategies, Trends, and Stock Selection (Bloomberg Professional Library) (Hardcover)
I have always been interested in low-priced stocks. As a preteen, I used to look at the stock tables in the American Stock Exchange, where I found many low priced stocks, and pretended that I was buying and selling. As I got older I have remained loyal to buying low priced stocks, but only after much investigation. "Mastering Microcaps" teaches strategies that I have used, and many that I plan to use. Another very helpful book that compliments this title that has been valuable is MAKING DOLLARS WITH PENNIES: HOW THE SMALL INVESTOR CAN BEAT THE WIZARDS ON WALL STREET by R. Max Bowser. Both books contain strategies for stock selection, when to buy and when to sell. I recommend "Mastering Microcaps" to everyone who has a love for small companies with great futures.

Good book,

This review is from: Mastering Microcaps: Strategies, Trends, and Stock Selection (Bloomberg Professional Library) (Hardcover)
I want to point out that investors should never make statements such as micro-cap or small-cap companies are better investments than large-cap companies. Size on its own does not make any difference. There are advantages and disadvantages with both. For example, the author says "Business plans and financial statements of small companies are much easier to understand than those of larger companies, making analysis easier."
I totally agree with this statement. Large companies may have so many segments and divisions that it is easy to get lost. Investors should only invest in companies, big or small, if they are good businesses selling or trading at favorable prices. That's it. The author does a pretty good job describing to readers how micro-cap companies differ from large-cap companies. He also argues that it is smart for investors to follow the Federal Reserve Bank's decisions because these decisions have a larger effect on smaller companies than they do on larger ones. Read this book, but just remember that size alone does not make as much difference as the author suggests. - Mariusz Skonieczny, author of Why Are We So Clueless about the Stock Market?
