Small-cap stocks are a GREAT place to start if you're serious about rebuilding your wealth and securing your financial future.
But what makes small-cap stocks so spectacular?
The bear market stripped analysts from small stocks -- hardly anyone is covering them anymore. This creates wonderful pricing anomalies and gives the individual investor a significant edge.
In addition, earnings are a big no-show among the big blue chips this season. It's not just the Big 3 automakers -- it's Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) and Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), too. Yesterday's innovators have become today's 3%-per-year-if-you're-lucky stocks. Meanwhile, innovative small-cap stocks sport earnings two, five, 10 times higher than the blue chips can manage.
Here are five of the best small-cap stocks to buy now.

what the authors of this piece are very carefully NOT saying is that these "small cap" stocks can offer a higher PERCENTAGE rate of return, but not a higher DOLLAR return, i.e., since the investment is smaller, the dollar return, expressed as a percentage of your investment, is also very much smaller, think for yourself people, everyone, i mean EVERYONE on wall street has an agenda.

I say let the SCUMBAGS on the street screw each other for awhile. When they all get tired of the same old hole then I might get back in. Until then, have a ball you thieves.
