Conclusion:
Of the two types of stock, common and preferred, most stocks are common. Based on their market cap, maturity and earnings, some are more appealing to either growth or value investors.
Small cap companies with a great deal of growth potential appeal to investors who profit by the appreciation in price as the company progresses.
Large cap or “blue chip” stocks are more stable and are likely to pay investors dividend income.
Most advisors suggest a balance of small cap and value stock investment to capture price appreciation while hedging this risk with stable, income paying large cap stocks.

Hey Everyone,
As many of you already know I grew up in a middle class family and didn't have many luxuries. But through trading I was able to change my circumstances --not just for me -- but for my parents as well. I now want to help you and thousands of other people from all around the world achieve similar results!
Which is why I've launched my Trading Challenge. I’m extremely determined to create a millionaire trader out of one my students and hopefully it will be you.
So when you get a chance make sure you check it out.
PS: Don’t forget to check out my 30 Day Bootcamp, it will teach you everything you need to know about trading.
