From the Inside Flap

Small, speculative stocks, with very little following in the investment community, present today's investor with an extremely profitable opportunity. The challenge, however, is finding the right company at the right time and taking a position in that company before its shares hit penthouse prices.

Author George Angell is an internationally respected authority on high-yield investments. As someone who has been trading stocks, options, and futures for almost forty years, he understands what it takes to make it in this dynamic field. Now, with Small Stocks for Big Profits, he offers invaluable insights into uncovering investment gems that have the potential for huge returns.

For investors who know where to look, the high-est profits come from small companies with big prospects. And with this book as your guide, you'll discover how to locate the low-priced stocks of these companies through straightforward strategies that combine both technical and fundamental analysis. As you become familiar with this approach, Angell addresses many of the essential elements associated with it, including the use of precise timing methods for entering trades and determining the best point to take profits, as well as the importance of monitoring insider-buying activity. Whenever possible, Angell illustrates the issues discussed with an example of an actual up-and-coming stock. In many instances, these examples include personal observations from his experience in trading that stock.

Informative and engaging, Small Stocks for Big Profits puts this proven method in perspective and will help you:

• Evaluate and interpret a small stock's performance and make sound decisions concerning its viability

• Decide not just what to buy, but how to buy: Do you place all your bets on the table at once? Or do you hold off for a while, perhaps waiting to see how the investment does?

• Understand the hidden pitfalls of this type of investing and avoid the most common mistakes made by those using it

• And much more

The real value of a company lies in its potential and not what analysts and pundits are saying about it. Understanding this can make all the difference in your investment endeavors. Read Small Stocks for Big Profits today, and put yourself in a better position to make money by finding companies that could become the Googles or Microsofts of tomorrow.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best about small caps and trading per se, May 14, 2009

By	Rolands Petrevics "taiwan.typepad.com" (Taiwan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Till now, my experience with trading books were such:

1) If book was written about FA (fundamental analysis), it totally ignored then anything else, what is outside this topic - no market timing, money management, risk management, seasonality and psychology topics were covered
2) If it was TA book - it were laughing on all fundamentalists waving from every page that P/E ratios are losers choice, and let's draw the trendlines and search for the head and shoulders, and we should not care, what's the symbol under this graph. Such book authors are able to find head and shoulders on cardiogram and say, hey, this guy is gonna die, see his pattern,
3) Those few FA & TA books i have, then or were poorly covering both, or were concentrating too much on other.
4) Now, this book covers:

- FA - as much as you really need, and do not tries make a CPA from you
- TA - in a way which does not looks like a alchemy or astrology - author does a job for us telling which patterns and things are really worth to look,
- Seasonality, and not just "sell in may and get back in october", or revealing a "secret" about Santa rally, but seasonality in such micro level as for day of weeks - like if friday is up then monday morning is down and so on - a lot of such cyclicals to consider
- Psychology topics are covered
- MM - money management, and what is most important - not just when you need to buy, but also when you need to sell. Most FA books i have lacks this - they will tell you when to buy, but when to sell, will cite the mr. Buffet with his "my favorite time frame is "forever".
- much other things.

What I think was not covered in the book is the position sizing - but that is a topic perfectly explained in any of Van Tharp books - like Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom

I believe combination of those 2 books is a winning combination
