Some readers have wondered why I have not spent more time of late talking about small and micro-cap stocks, especially since one of the major reasons for this blog is to talk about these type of stocks and companies. Quite frankly the reason for not commenting is that in reality there is currently no market for most micro-cap stocks. With the overall market environment so toxic there is little reason to be optimistic about micro caps. When there are signs of life in the sector or individual situations that may appear worthy of a mention I will do so.
