Ask Yourself: Are You in the Know?

Why Small Caps?

Small Cap stocks, were the first to be sold during the recent sub prime and economic crisis. Many stocks are trading far below their net cash value, meaning their treasuries are being valued by the market at pennies on the dollar. Typically, small cap stocks are the first to bounce back and history shows us that they lead the way for years to come following depressions, recessions and stock market crashes. In the year following the end of each of the past 10 recessions, small cap stocks rose an average of 28 percent compared to 19 percent for large cap stocks.

Other reasons for our bullish view on small cap stocks:

1. Lack of Analyst Coverage
   Investors are not hanging on every bit of financial news and guidance from analysts causing stocks to trade down on the slightest failure to exceed expected quarterly and annual performance.
   

2. Lack of Debt
   Small caps often are financed through equity and usually have more conservative debt to equity ratios as their business is inherently more risky.
   

3. They are Nimble
   Small companies are able to act more quickly to reel in expenses and change their business strategy to increase growth. They have less less red tape and layers of management to go through to implement change.
   

4. Less Exposure to the US Consumer
   Small cap stocks have far less exposure to the over-extended and tired US consumer. Large cap stocks have for the last quarter century relied on the consumer to drive their sales and share price growth. We’ve seen the effect of this during the recent market crash.
   

5. Less Diversified
   Yes, you read it correctly, small cap stocks are less diversified with many of them involved in the exploration and development of materials, energy and technology. All great spaces to be in right now with low share prices, low commodity and energy prices and pent up demand for new technology in the automotive and energy production sectors. Small caps have been leading the market recovery.
