People should definitely invest in small cap companies as they tend to outperform large cap in the log run, but they are also a little riskier. These seven points are for "defensive investor" who don't want to take any risk with smaller companies. In my own portfolio, I want to have 20% in small cap, but it'll be in some sort of mutual fund or ETF. For an average investor like me, looking at growth prospect of a small company is hard to do. About the "green companies". Of course we need to invest in them. But when I say "We" I mean we as a country, as a government, in the same manner as we need to "invest" in education and health care. I don't think I am ready to invest in those company with my money yet. Bubbles, You bring a good point about the small cap companies.

I can not seem to find the article any longer…read it either on cnn money or Forbes… anyways, what is your intake on that? I am not sure if you have read that article, but are you still going to be following Grahams’ way? Do you think your perception on the 1st point of Graham's 7points will change as time/situation changes? Also, this seems to be the time to start investing in “green companies”….. do you have any on your portfolio? Attached is a link to an article about finding the right green fund! http://money.cnn.com/2008/11/05/magazines/fortune/levenson_greenfunds.fortune/index.htm?postversion=2008110606 Anyways, great writing! I will definitely be checking back to see what new/interesting information you provide. I briefly read an article which stated something about investing in companies with smaller market cap?
