Small cap stock is another way of referring to market capitalization of a company, which is calculated by multiplying the number of shares by the current per share price. Unlike large cap stocks, which are shares of large companies and can have a value of as much as $10 billion or more, small cap stocks are shares of smaller companies.

All investments do have some risks and benefits associated with them. When it comes to small cap stock investing, there is always the chance that the small business you invest in will go under due to poor management or lack of funds. The benefits can be numerous, however.

When it comes to small companies, stick with industries that you are familiar with, and be sure to do your research and explore all of your investment options. This will help prevent your making a less then profitable investment decision.
