In this first year of publication 81 small companies fit Martin Roth's rigorous selection criteria. All the stocks featured in this book:* had to be listed by the end of 2001* must be able to show a three-year record of profits* have posted a return-on-equity of at least 9% in their latest financial year* show a debt-to-equity ratio of less than 75%.The conditions of entry, then, are substantially the same as for the phenomenally successful annual publication Top Stocks - now in its eleventh year of publication. The main difference is that the Small Company Top Stocks do not have to have a history of paying dividends, many smaller companies preferring to plough profits back into investments that will produce future growth.Many investors would like to include more small companies in their portfolios, but they are wary of the fact that together with their higher potential for capital growth comes a higher risk of the company going bust, a more volatile share price and a less liquid market, as well as a scarcity of company research and information. Small Company Top Stocks is an independent and objective evaluation of leading listed companies based on rigid criteria, with the intention of yielding a large selection of stocks that can become the starting point for investors wishing to do their on research.After completing the research for this book, Roth is firmly of the view that he has selected a fine collection of small stocks, many of them outstanding companies with excellent potential.
