Investing in small cap value stocks
Hi straight to the point.
How do you actually beat the market?
The reality is that it is simple and is thought of as a challenging task, it can be for those with poor temperament as an example.
Let’s say you have the emotional side under control alongside knowing the basics needed in order to value a security.
Why are small caps the best way to beat the market?
Small caps allow you to be able to buy companies which will grow at faster rates than matured businesses so you can expect the stocks price to rise as the company grows as the earnings will be on the rise with the firms growth. Small caps are simply smaller businesses with lower values. This seems so simple right? why is that? well there is a catch… you need patience, small caps do not pay off in the short run, you should hold them for a minimum of 10–20 years before even thinking about their being a good pay off.
Why is their value in small caps?
- They outgrow larger companies.
- They are commonly under appreciated in the market, so they can be purchased at discounts to their intrinsic value.
- The opportunity to growth is greater, so they can provide you with above average returns on your investment.
- Value and growth go hand in hand, as growth is commonly associated with a rise in earnings.
- Small cap businesses can commonly be found to have a competitive advantage, which protects them in the long run.
Your chances at beating the market are greater if you can find small caps which are competitive, have good future prospects, are selling at a discount to their intrinsic value and have integrity in management.
