Hi Perry,

I have consciously limited my searches and screens to low priced small =
and micro cap stocks even when big caps were much more in favor. It is =
both a personal preference, as well as a mental constraint from the =
funds I have to invest (I insist on buying at least several hundred =
shares, so a $50 stock is beyond my budget in a diversified portfolio).

For those without bias like mine, then all stocks should be considered. =
But micros should not be considered by most investors, and small caps =
should be only considered carefully and with regard to their liquidity =
and funds ownership.

  Perhaps a bit naive, but I'll ask the question anyway:

  Why would one consciously look for a particular size company to buy?   =
Because the action is in small caps right now?  Does this mean that =
large caps that meet all Canslim requirements with a similar chart are =
more prone to failure?  Why not search for all Canslim candidates and =
let the chips fall where the action is?

    Hi Andreas,

    The definition seems to vary from one place to the next, but these =
are the numbers I see quoted most often:

    Microcap: 50m-300m
    Smallcap: 300m-2b
    Midcap: 2b-10b
    LgCap: >10b

      Hi,

      Question: How big is a micro cap. When does the Smal Cap start?

      I gues that Micros are below 100 Mio?

      Thank you

      Andreas
