Is 1998 the year of the small company, maybe
Article Abstract:
Smaller United Kingdom companies have tended not to attract investors, and there is a debate as to when they will become popular again. Larger companies' stocks are sometimes seen as more liquid, so safer to hold in terms of the ability to sell them if stock prices drop. Many fund managers see smaller companies' stocks as having been neglected for so long that they are likely to rise. Investors need patience when investing in smaller companies and stocks can take some time before moving.

Aim, set, fire (or fizzle): This month London gets its first all-new stock market for over a decade. Will it fill a much-needed equity gap, or will it be a damp squib?
Article Abstract:
The London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market (Aim) is the successor to the Unlisted Securities Market, and is aimed at young, small, fast growing companies that require simple and cost effective access to a capital market. Aim needed to be significantly different from the main market as the lack of distinction between a full listing a USM quote led to the USM's demise.
