I Found a compelling argument that people managing smaller portfolios should focus their research on smaller cap companies < 5 billion, even < 1 billion market caps.
They usually only have 1 arm of business. Which makes it much easier to analyze.
It's much easier to find "5-10 baggers" at this level.

I'm afraid, your question is quite generic. There are profitable trading strategies in different segments of the market. The question is not which segment you should exploit. The question is: did you find a strategy?

I inherited a company from my father. Not sure what the valuation was. I didn't have any money invested in the company, but the company was sued and we lost it in lieu of not being able to pay the judgment.

I am reading one of Peter Lynch's book and he recommends some decisions based on the PE of a mutual fund. While trying to calculate the PE of the mutual fund, I came across a member stock with the negative earnings. How do I go about weighting this stock's PE in the total PE of a fund? |
While calculating PE ratio of a mutual fund what do I do with negative earnings of a particular stock? |

This is a pretty straightforward clarification question. For inverse ETFs tracking an index _I_ which are tagged as "accumulating", what this actually means is that we are not tracking the inverse **price** return of _I_ but rather its **total** return. Is this correct? |
As I understand it a trade works as follows. A buys from B on an exchange. Instead of a direct exchange, A and B report the trade to their clearing brokers. The clearing brokers then submit the trades to a clearing house and if they match then the clearing house processes the trade. In case that A or B default, the cle... |

Are there any major advantages of selling put options with a longer expiry date? |

How do you think extending the period someone would possibly use your put option to sell you something at a predetermined price would possibly logically lower risk? This makes ZERO sense. The longer the period, the higher the risk that the price goes against your wishes.

You and your employer face multiple potential problems, some legal legal and some tax issues:

I understand how EPS is calculated on an ETF like the S&P500 (such as SPY).

If I have invested for 5 years in a row and made loss each year, can I use those loses to negate any profit I have made in regards to UK capital gains tax?
For example, if I made a loss of £1k for the last 4 years, for my 5th year would the tax-free allowance be 16.3k instead of 12.3k? |
Can previous historic losses offset profits made in the current tax year in relation to capital gains tax? |

Thinking about the current situation where GME has been shorted by more than the existing float, I think I have a basic understanding of short selling as selling shares you've borrowed.
