I believe the S&P 600 is an index for small caps. The top 70 =

is an index for micro cap? Later in the B section of IBD there is the =
Nasdaq Small Caps section, but I don't think these are the same small =
caps as the S&P600. Most of these appear to be penny stocks. I am =
assuming that the IBS New America index is a mix. I've seen some pretty =
big companies on the New America page (BLL- although I guess 3b is not =
considered large). I don't have WON's HTMMIS with me, but it seems he =
recommended staying below a certain mkt cap and I guess I'm trying to =
figure out what that is.
Thanks,

Hi Lin,
The definition of big/mid/small/micro cap will vary slightly depending =
on the source. Here is one definition:
Big Cap - Market cap $10 billion and greater=20
Mid Cap - $2 billion to $10 billion=20
Small Cap - $300 million to $2 billion=20
Micro Cap - $50 million to $300 million=20
Nano Cap - Under $50 million=20
