To quote the inimitable Warren Buffett, “Price is what you pay and value is what you get.” And to quote my inimitable mother, “patience is a virtue.” With those pearls of wisdom firmly entrenched in my subconscious I decided to see if I could find a few small-cap plays that were a nice value for the price and worth a long-term relationship with my portfolio. I think I may have been successful, but only time will tell. They may explode, in which case I will be the wisest investor I know. On the other hand they may simmer slowly like a pot of spaghetti sauce on the back burner, in which case I hope I know when patience is not strategic to the stocks and my success any longer. So with a nod to mom and Warren, here is a contender that looked decent to my small-cap eyes.
