As an investor, the stock market offers you the opportunity to increase your income without taking on the high risks that are usually associated when venturing in other businesses. By selling stocks, the company raises capital and is able to expand itself exponentially. Therefore, as an investor, when you purchase shares of a company, you have increased the worth of the company. Thus it's a win-win situation for both investor and owner. The negative risk associated with the stock market can be small or large, but it all depends on the number of shares of stock that you, as an investor, have bought. Therefore, if a company's stock shares lose value, the stocks you have bought also loses value, and if you decide to sell your stocks when the value is low, you will have incurred a loss. I will show you how you can minimize your risks and show you different ways in which investors are not only making money, but are also building with the stock market.

Small-cap stocks, those publicly traded companies with market capitalizations less than $2 billion, can yield significant gains that are impossible to find in larger stocks. They've also proven to be among the most attractive investments after a financial downturn. Unfortunately, information about how to successfully invest in these smaller companies has been hard to find until now. Author Ian Wyatt is dedicated to helping investors find great companies at bargain prices before Wall Street or Main Street catches on. As the Chief Investment Strategist of SmallCapInvestor.com, he's guided countless individuals in their quest to capture small-cap investing success. Now, with The Small-Cap Investor, Wyatt will help you do the same. Throughout the book, Wyatt clearly outlines his proven investment process and the systems that are involved detailing eight straightforward steps you need to take to find, research, and analyze small-cap stocks that could put big gains in your portfolio. Page by page, he takes the time to explain the essential criteria involved in picking the right stocks and timing your buy/sell decisions. Topics touched upon include: Identifying growth trends and market sectors positioned for rapid growth in the years to come Secrets for finding undiscovered small caps before they are embraced by the financial media and institutional investors Understanding the fundamentals of a potential investment, including products, services, and management's ability to run the business Along the way, Wyatt not only shows you how to find winners, but also addresses how to avoid losers. This is particularly important for investors who have experienced losses in their portfolios, and are looking to grow their portfolios in the coming years. Many of today's top large-cap companies from Microsoft to Wal-Mart all started out small and grew to become dominant forces in their respective industries. Investors who bought these great companies early on profited handsomely. By following Wyatt's guidance, and understanding his strategies for finding winners, you'll have a huge edge over other investors and be in a better position to profit from the exponential growth of the right small-cap companies.
