| What Are Small Cap Stocks? |
|
| The meanings of "big cap"
and "small cap" are generally understood
by their names: big-cap stocks are shares of larger
companies and small-cap stocks are shares of smaller
companies. Labels like these, however, are often misleading.
If you don't realize how big "small-cap"
stocks have become, you'll miss some good investment
opportunities.
Small-cap stocks are often cited as good investments
due to their low valuations and potential to grow
into big-cap stocks, but the definition of small
cap has changed over time. What was considered a
big-cap stock in 1980 is a small-cap stock today.
This article will define the "caps" and
provide additional information that will help investors
understand terms that are often taken for granted.

Drug
industry could use a face lift
"Big pharmaceuticals, they're right up there
with the arm dealers." This line is from "The
Constant Gardener," a movie opening on Aug. 26
that won't be doing any favors for the drug industry's
public image. Based on John le Carre's 2001 novel,
the thriller depicts a fictional drugmaker that uses
the Kenyan population as guinea pigs for a fatally-flawed
drug. |
Big
jobs that pay badly
Most of us work hard for a living. And if we're lucky,
we're well compensated for the effort. But there are
some jobs you should take only if you really love
the work because the investment you make to get the
job and the hours you keep aren't necessarily commensurate
with what you earn. |

| Boeing Firms Up Asia Foothold |
Boeing ( BA :NYSE - news - research )
is making important progress on plans to sell more than
$7 billion worth of 787 Dreamliner passenger jets to Chinese
airlines.
Four airlines -- Air China, China Eastern, Shanghai Airlines and Xiamen Airlines -- have signed definitive firm orders for 42 Dreamliners with list prices totaling $5.04 billion, China's official Xinhua News Agency reported Monday.
A Boeing spokeswoman, Yvonne Leach, confirmed the firm orders, which cement parts of a broader preliminary agreement struck in January to sell 60 Dreamliners to six Chinese airlines.
Two of the carriers -- Hainan Airlines and China Southern Airlines -- still haven't signed firm orders, but Leach said Boeing continues to work at completing those agreements.
