The reason is
simple: A company with a market cap of $500 million will simply have more room
to grow than a company with a market cap of $50 billion. If it makes it to $1
billion, and you've invested, you double your money; if the large cap company
adds $500 million to its market cap, you've only made 1%.
Today I would like
to introduce 10 stocks with a yield higher than 3 percent and P/E valuations in an acceptable area while the market capitalization doesn’t reach the 2 billion levels.
