In terms of finding an edge, the micro sector is incredibly hard. Much more easy and low-hanging fruit lies in the middle and big cap companies.

In the micros, you are always faced with massive spread and most of the time you're crossing this massive spread at least once, if not twice - certainly twice in fast moving stocks. You have tiny liquidity, where even a 5k trade can move the market. You have spruikers going at it non-stop. And you have the fact that 99% of such cruddy companies end up where they started. It's the dirty end of the play ground. Hard to come out clean. Hard to come out a winner.

I personally stay away from small caps now. I look for quality stocks and pick them up during times of volatility.
I have been looking at i shares for some international exposure. I have noticed the i shares on the NYSE have more funds available. I have a optionsxpress account. Will wait for a correction and get into some US/International Funds.
Now is not the right time jump in imo.
