The article examined recent market performance and asserted that “it isn’t too late for long-term investors to jump aboard. Small-cap stocks, with market values generally below $3 billion, are one of the most enticing sectors of the market.”

Francis agreed, saying that, “Small-caps are [still] cheap from a valuation perspective. They have priced in a recession that has yet to materialize,” while Miles discussed a long-term holding that has his confidence.
