They want you to leave it with them and  forget it.<\/p>\n<p>And here&#8217;s why they hope you&#8217;ll never bother to challenge  the myth&hellip;<\/p>\n<p>Your broker makes money whether your portfolio soars or  falls. All he cares about is that you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moneymorning.com.au\/20110212\/how-to-buy-and-sell-shares.html\" title=\"how to buy and sell shares\">buy or sell stocks<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>He takes his commission and you get stocks that could be  profitable, but are more likely just the &lsquo;hot picks&rsquo; of the week. Stocks that  lead your portfolio down the drain in no time.<\/p>\n<p>But as you&#8217;re about to see, you can do a lot better. You can  win at the stock market when you use <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moneymorning.com.au\/category\/stock-market\/small-cap-stocks\" title=\"more on small-cap stocks\">the power of small-cap stocks<\/a> to your own  profitable advantage.<\/p>\n<p>For example, back on March 20th, you could have  bought into a little company called <strong>NetComm Wireless Ltd [ASX:NTC]<\/strong> for  just 47 cents per share.<\/p>\n<p>This was a remarkably cheap price for such an exciting  stock.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s why I tipped NetComm Wireless to my readers in <em>Australian  Small-Cap Investigator<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>It had a terrific opportunity to benefit from the rise of  machine-to-machine communication. Its share price didn&rsquo;t value those rosy  prospects.<\/p>\n<p>After I tipped the stock, NetComm Wireless signed a  distribution deal in Japan and took its story to new investors in the US.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s why in the two months after I tipped NetComm  Wireless, the shares surged by more than 68%.<\/p>\n<p>Not a bad return for two months&rsquo; investing. <\/p>\n<p>If you pick the right small-caps with wealth-creating  catalysts, you can reap even richer rewards.<\/p>\n<p>Take, for example, the stock I tipped to my readers in April  &mdash; <strong>Analytica Ltd [ASX:ALT]<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This tiny firm is right on the cusp of commercialising a  medical device. It could change millions of women&rsquo;s lives around the world.<\/p>\n<p>When I saw how close Analytica&rsquo;s product was to hitting the  big time, I was amazed that the stock was so cheap. When I tipped Analytica to  my readers on April 15th, you could buy in for just 2.9 cents per  share.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, the company has rolled out its breakthrough  medical device just as I forecasted. <\/p>\n<p>Less than two months after I recommended that readers buy  in, Analytica shares had exploded &mdash; up a massive 76%.<\/p>\n<p>Again &mdash; not a bad return for two months&rsquo; investing!<\/p>\n<p>It goes to show that in the small-cap sector, you can buy  into some tremendous businesses. Many of them trade for virtually nothing. <\/p>\n<p>And as the market cottons on to the opportunity, you reap  the benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Discovering the hidden potential in companies like this  before anyone else can be extremely rewarding. After all, getting in before the  crowd is what makes a select few investors rich.<\/p>\n<p>It doesn&#8217;t take many smart small-cap plays to make a lot of  money, either.<\/p>\n<p>But I won&rsquo;t pull any punches here: picking the big winners  is hard.<\/p>\n<p>Not all of our small-cap stock tips rise as far or as fast  as the two I just told you about.<\/p>\n<p>But this is how you have to play the small-cap market. You  have to swing for the fence and let your big winners make up for the misses.<\/p>\n<p>One stock that hasn&rsquo;t worked as well as we hoped is <strong>Alkane  Resources Ltd [ASX:ALK]<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>When Kris tipped Alkane in early 2013, it was gearing up a  gold project towards production. But it was also developing a rare earth  minerals project right here in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>None of us could have forecast that China would distort the  rare earths market so much over the past two years.<\/p>\n<p>Nor could we accurately tell how quickly the commodities  boom would cool off, or that the gold price would struggle.<\/p>\n<p>Alkane&rsquo;s shares have done it tough. They&rsquo;re down nearly 57%  since we tipped it. But it goes to show how hard it is to pick small-cap  winners&hellip;particularly when you play in the junior <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moneymorning.com.au\/category\/commodities\/resources-and-mining\" title=\"more on the mining sector\">mining sector<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Despite what you might read in the press, the mining sector  is not the be-all and end-all of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.moneymorning.com.au\/category\/economy\/australia-economy\" title=\"more on the Australian Economy \">Australia&rsquo;s economy<\/a> and share market. That&rsquo;s  why I look for small-cap superstars of tomorrow in the tech, healthcare,  consumer, media and finance industries too.<\/p>\n<p>I&rsquo;ve honed a simple and effective technique of targeting the  most explosive companies listed on the Aussie stock market.<\/p>\n<p>And when I say it&rsquo;s effective, I mean it.<\/p>\n<p>Our average gain on closed positions is 121%.<\/p>\n<p>Our average loss on closed positions is -43%.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, our average gain is close to three times the  size of our average loss.<\/p>\n<p>In the world of small-cap stocks, it takes a lot more than  simple valuation to measure a company&#8217;s potential. <\/p>\n<p>After all, many of these small companies aren&#8217;t even turning  a profit&hellip;yet. The trick is to pick out the ones that will, while avoiding the  ones that could poison your portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve spent a long time perfecting stringent guidelines for  my <em>Australian Small-Cap Investigator<\/em> readers. I expose them to the best  emerging stock plays on the market today.<\/p>\n<p>Keep an eye on your email this weekend. I&rsquo;ll send you a  special report that reveals those guidelines. <\/p>\n<p>What&rsquo;s more, I&rsquo;ll reveal a simple strategy that shows you  exactly how to lock on to shares that could double, triple or quadruple your  money in a single shot.<\/p>\n<p>If you follow my method, you could be booking big stock market gains  sooner than you think.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tim Dohrmann<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/112584110357066501706\/about\">+<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\n    <strong>Small-Cap Analyst, <em>Australian Small-Cap Investigator<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>From the Port Phillip Publishing Library<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Special Report: <a href=\"http:\/\/pro1.portphillippublishing.com.au\/247316\/\" target=\"_blank\">The  key to Australia&rsquo;s most closely guarded financial fellowship&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moneymorning.com.au\/20140808\/make-money-use-power-small-cap-stocks.html\">Make More Money: Use the Power of Small-cap Stocks<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.moneymorning.com.au\">Stock Market News, Finance and Investments | Money Morning Australia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/MoneyMorningAustralia?a=4BaxEDTRAAU:kW50gwCszyE:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/MoneyMorningAustralia?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/MoneyMorningAustralia?a=4BaxEDTRAAU:kW50gwCszyE:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/MoneyMorningAustralia?i=4BaxEDTRAAU:kW50gwCszyE:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/MoneyMorningAustralia?a=4BaxEDTRAAU:kW50gwCszyE:gIN9vFwOqvQ\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/MoneyMorningAustralia?i=4BaxEDTRAAU:kW50gwCszyE:gIN9vFwOqvQ\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/MoneyMorningAustralia\/~4\/4BaxEDTRAAU\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" \/><br \/>\nBy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.MoneyMorning.com.au\" target=\"_blank\"><u>MoneyMorning.com.au<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By MoneyMorning.com.au The easiest way that you can make big money in the Aussie stock market is by investing in small-cap stocks.
