Early stage companies that have huge growth potential and a large addressable market.
By definition, micro-cap stocks are stocks of companies that trade with a value between $50 million and $300 million. It goes without saying that investing in micro-cap stocks is a high-risk play. However, I would not hesitate to allocate a small portion of my portfolio toward these stocks.

Is it the right time to buy $AAPL stock after it crossed $3 trillion?
With a company valuation of around $3 trillion, Apple is not only the largest stock in the world by market capitalization. The stock is leaps and bounds (in terms of valuation) above other "trillion-dollar" stocks.
The only one at least approaching them is Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) with a current valuation of...

It's a blast and I believe the $240 is not a question of "If?" but "When?"... I myself have over 100% profit on Apple right now and I'm thinking of making my first sale ever... I just want to jump back in and I don't see any reason in the foreseeable future to make the stock significantly cheaper to make this trade worthwhile... so I'm in a bit of a pinch right now :)

I like the new macbook air and the new watch OS. That's about it, but then the glasses came out and that's something. There's nothing like it yet and if it really works the way they showed, it's a game changer. On the other hand, I keep thinking about why I should buy it. It's expensive, I do my work on my laptop and if I want to watch a movie, I have a TV. I guess we'll have to wait for the real use of it.
