The Little Book of Big Profits from Small Stocks + Website : Why You'll Never Buy a Stock Over $10 Again

Hilary Kramer was a newcomer to the investing world when the markets took a massive tumble in late 1987. While everyone around her was selling like crazy, she was buying as many devalued stocks as she could get her hands on. Her levelheadedness paid off, and she was a self-made millionaire by age thirty. In The Little Book of Big Profits from Small Stocks, Kramer shares her years of insight into low-priced stocks--or "breakout stocks"--a great low-risk, high-reward way to build or rebuild wealth quickly. For years, stocks worth less than $10 have been viewed with disdain by traditional investment logic. Kramer knows how to identify which have the potential to skyrocket and, with this book in hand, so will you.

Breaking with conventional wisdom, Kramer shows readers that just because a stock is cheap doesn't mean it's worthless. Context is everything, and the intelligent investor needs to look at the bigger picture to really understand a stock's value. In many cases, stock prices may be depressed because they belong to new companies with undiscovered worth or established companies engaged in dramatic turnarounds. These stocks present phenomenal opportunities for investors. In fact, many have the potential for a 50 to 200 percent increase in the next six to twenty-four months, and it is these stocks that this Little Book looks at in detail.

Kramer argues that "breakout stocks" have three things in common: most are under $10; all of them are undervalued; and in each case, there are specific catalysts in the near future that put them on the threshold of becoming much more valuable.
