Micro Cap

What does it Mean? Companies with market capitalizations between $50 million and $300 million.
Investopedia Says... A micro-cap stock isn't the smallest classification - nano cap is even smaller.

Keep in mind that classifications such as "large cap" or "small cap" are only approximations that change over time. Also, the exact definition of these terms can vary between brokerage houses.
