About

Best Stock Newsletter for Small-Caps
Each monthly issue of the SmallCap Informer is packed with information aimed at helping you make smarter investing decisions about the small-cap stocks in your portfolio. From helping you learn about making better decisions about small company stocks to presenting new ideas for your portfolio, SCI will educate and inform you each month.

Independent Research and Analysis
We accept no compensation from the securities we recommend and do not engage in nor solicit any banking business from corporations. In addition, we do not offer any money management or brokerage services. This policy allows us to remain unbiased in our research and analysis. Our buy-side research is produced independently and aims to provide subscribers with the best possible ideas to help them make better investing decisions for their portfolios.

Editor's Comments
Our Editor-in-Chief will provide you with specific insight each month into the nature and conditions of the overall market, with special attention to how the economy may impact small company stocks. Written in plain English, you'll gain knowledge with each issue.

Stock Data Table
Each month, we provide updates on our analysts' expectations for the stocks that we cover, with revised buy prices and growth rates when required.

Sale of Stocks
When situations warrant, stocks will be recommended for sale and noted in this section, along with a brief explanation of our thinking. Companies recommended for sale are discontinued from the newsletter, and are no longer covered by SCI analysts.

News of Companies
The News of Companies section will report relevant information on a stock's fundamental performance, including updates on reported earnings and important business announcements that can impact future prospects.

Small-Caps in Focus
The one or two stocks recommended each month are selected and analyzed using BetterInvesting's Stock Selection Guide stock study form. Each stock write-up includes an overview of the company's business, and analyses of the growth prospects, key quality metrics, and valuation assessment. It's important that subscribers review each selection for suitability given their own portfolio goals, risk tolerance, and other personal considerations.

Best for New Money
Each issue also includes a list of “Best for New Money” stocks. These are often recently-profiled companies that are resoundingly well-valued but may easily get lost in the excitement around new recommendations in subsequent issues. As it can take several months for company fundamentals to work through and show up in a stock’s capital appreciation, this section serves as a reminder to subscribers to consider deploying new capital to some of the ideas on the “Best for New Money” list.

On Probation Stocks
“On Probation” companies are often mathematically in the buy zone on the Stock Selection Guide, but there exists for these stocks adequate cause to be hesitant about accumulating shares. Typically, companies in this section are facing some sorts of uncharacteristic fundamental challenges. Their placement on the probation list is meant to signal to subscribers that coming quarterly reports will hopefully bring more clarity about their operations that will aid in determining whether the stock is a “buy” or a “sell.”

E-mailed Alerts
The SmallCap Informer may occasionally send brief updates by e-mail whenever warranted when breaking news about one of the companies that we follow becomes known. The information in these alerts will be found on the website and included in the next issue of the newsletter.

Educational Feature Articles
Beyond providing ideas for your portfolio, we also regularly include educational articles on topics related to small-cap stock investing. Our aim is to help subscribers to gain wisdom and experience throughout the bull and bear cycles of the stock market.
