5 Top Small-Cap Stocks to Buy Right Now
Investing in small-cap companies -- defined as any business with an arbitrary market capitalization of under $2 billion -- can be a high-risk but high-reward endeavor. Many investors dream of getting in on the next Amazon.com way ahead of the curve and reaping huge rewards.
But the fact is that just buying one or two small businesses likely won't cut it. For every story like Amazon, there are dozens of small caps that never grow at all; some close up shop altogether. To increase the odds of picking a big winner, a basket of small-cap stocks is the better route to go.
With that in mind, here are five small caps (or close to it, per the traditional definition) that I think are worth a look right now: Redfin (NASDAQ: RDFN), NV5 Global (NASDAQ: NVEE), Teladoc (NYSE: TDOC), iRobot (NASDAQ: IRBT), and Baozun (NASDAQ: BZUN).
