“History has proven that investors are best off with a healthy dose of small-cap stocks. The key is to find the ones with the best earnings prospects and be sure to own enough of them to diversify away the risk. There are few investors who understand this strategy better than Ian Wyatt and you would be wise to heed his advice.”
- Stephen Reitmeister, Executive Vice President, Zacks Investment Research

The Small-Cap Investor is being published by John Wiley & Sons, and is scheduled to be released on September 14. With just a month until the book goes live, I’m glad to have this site live to help get the word out.

I hope my book web site shares some additional valuable information about my book, and gives you a better idea of what you can expect should you chose to buy a copy. In the right column of this site, you’ll notice links directly to the four most popular online book sellers. Clicking any of these links will allow you to pre-purchase a copy of the book, which will be shipped as soon as it is released.

Through this blog, you can expect to learn more about my book. I’ll also be posting regularly about the market for small-cap stocks, and also share specific investment ideas regularly. I hope that while reading the book, you’ll use this site as a forum for sharing feedback, questioning my strategies, asking questions, and finding profitable investments.
