Moving up from 50 million to 200 million, we
have a group of companies, each of which is considered...

A "Small" Cap

Ain't that something? A company worth as much
as 200 million
fungolas is still only "small potatoes" as far as
Wall Street is concerned.

Moving right on up the ladder, we have those
companies worth somewhere between 200 million and 1.5 BILLION!
Think that puts it at the top of the pile? Not a chance. If a
company is only worth a measly 1.5 billion
($1,500,000,000.00!) it is still only considered...

A "Mid" Cap

You wanna run with the big dogs? Want to be
considered a serious
company? Well, as long as your company is worth more than 1.5
billion, you are then considered...

A "Large" Cap

Get this: Some of these companies are so damn
big, the daily trading
volume of their shares is 2-1/2 billion
dollars or more!

Also remember: Not all of a company's stock is
available for purchase on the stock market. Let's say a
company is made up of a total of 10,000,000 shares... but...
the people who run the company believe in it very strongly...
and... they want to make sure they maintain control. There
might be only 3,000,000 of those shares available for
"outsiders" to buy from one of the stock exchanges.
Those 3,000,000 shares, by the way, are called "the
float." In other words, "the float" is the
number of shares available for public purchase.

Small companies, of course, have the greatest
potential for share price appreciation. Recently, Pfitzer, a massive
company, made front-page news all over the world because it
has just secured FDA approval to market a potency pill taken
orally just like an aspirin and, in just 30 minutes, it makes
it possible for pathetic guys like me to once again have a
"woody."
