Investment Takeaway

A stock market investor has to be very careful. In stock markets, the pros can turn around and become cons at any time.

Small-cap stocks offer high and quick returns because small-cap companies have a high growth rate. But these small-cap stocks also bear high risk.

High promoter holding indicates the promoter's trust in the company.

Hence, an investor should be careful of red flags in stock, but she should not be careless about missing the green flags of the stock too.
