For risk-takers with ability to stay invested for the long term: 5 small-caps from different sectors with upside potential of 5 to 32%

When is a good time to buy stocks, especially small-cap stocks? When everything is looking good and stock prices are rising (recall early 2024)? Or when all the commentary is negative, stock prices are falling, and fear dominates the street (recall early 2025)? While the second is clearly the answer, it is easier said than done. At this point of time, we are neither in an extremely bullish nor bearish scenario. Essentially, it’s a grey zone as far as sentiment is concerned. Probably the time to have a look at a select few stocks that are better placed than others, and then stay with them for the long term in order to create wealth.
