Summary:A few early flowers bloomed this February when a warm spell blew through Ontario. While they quickly faded, a new crop is waiting in the wings. In a similar way, the stock market frosted over recently. But it too will thaw and make a comeback. When it does, small stocks will be off to the races again. It's one reason why they're pleased to present the third annual Small Cap 100. In the following pages the authors reveal the small US stocks that pass the strict tests they've employed for over a decade in the MoneySense Top 500 ranking of large US stocks. While small stocks have provided big gains, they often fare poorly when the market stumbles. In an effort to find the best US stocks, they evaluated 1,000 companies using the same methodology they use for their annual Top 500 ranking of large stocks.
