Small-cap survey

How the mighty have fallen in the past two years. Downfalls of giant and seemingly invincible companies have made the news time and time again in recent years, often overshadowing the success story of the little guy - the small-cap company. Indeed, small-cap stocks have enjoyed a good run on the market, with the Russell 2000 Value Index, a mix of small-cap growth and value stocks, up more than 14 percent in the first four months of 2002 while the Dow and Nasdaq have been languishing in losses.
