5 small-cap stocks to buy now


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.
