Small-cap stocks: Quantitative and qualitative – or nothing: 5 small-caps from different sectors with upside potential of up to 31%

What is the best time to buy stocks? The answer: Any time. That is, if you are buying good companies at cheap or reasonable valuations. The problem: Even after all the corrections, valuations are not cheap. So, look carefully at the company. If the business is good and the management has a track record, go with that. Do not go by the mood that the Nifty and Sensex create. Small-caps, in particular, have seen a lot of volatility. And now is exactly the time when this kind of discipline is most useful.
