To answer Bert, yes I love my small/mid-cap plays. Nowhere else are you gonna have a shot at a ten-bagger. Below are plays I'm doing research on - I've eventually pared down my original list down to these guys. I'll be hopefully entering long positions on two small/mid caps and one large cap over the next three months.

Small/mid-cap: UNFI, GAIA, IEX, SFL, SWN, GW, NTO.

Large-cap plays: TM (which comes with the added bonus of being hedged against the dollar), APD, GRMN, UPL

Fund plays: EEM, EWJ, FXE (although I'm not sure that Europe's economies are robust enough to for me to feel comfortable hedging against the dollar here).

Currently listening to: Leanne Rimes - But I Do Love You

you should check out the Motley Fool's Hidden Gems newsletter. it's a small-cap focused newsletter which gives monthly picks and some investment education every month. their picks are meant for the medium to long term horizon, although lots have played out well in the short term as well.

i'm a subscriber and its totally paid for itself.

Oh, come on. Your beloved Redhat was a midcap when you bought it. If I remember correctly, you also just bought in at Barnes recently - another midcap. And your ELOS pick was a smallcap. You're just as addicted to small/mid caps as I am ... but I can admit I have a problem!!!


Here's to ten-baggers!

Hooray for mutual funds. btw.. i looked at my fund portfolio earlier today (... friday at work is SOOO boring....) and i have 2 funds invested in foreign (read asian) small cap growth. hooray!
