If you’re an avid follower of the stock market, you’ve probably heard of these terms before: nano-stock, penny stock, and small-cap. They’re all used to characterize microcap stock companies, which compose a big part of the US stock market. And since there are that many, it would benefit you as an investor, to learn about them.
