A little change of heart
Article Abstract:
Investors are investing heavily in stocks of small-cap firms in the Japanese stock exchange since these companies have shown resilience to fluctuations in the economy and have shown higher returns than large-cap stocks. Observers note that small-cap stocks show a possible return 23 times the current average share price. Investors have turned away from large-cap stocks due to larger effects of a stronger yen on the trading of the companies' products overseas, producing smaller returns on investments.
