How to find small cap stocks in specific sectors?

Mike asked:


What resources/methods do you use to find small cap stocks in specialized areas (i.e. energy). Im already invested in major corporations and wanted to venture to a more growth orientated field, but I really do not know how to locate small stocks other than googling or random searches. Ideally I would like to have a list in which I can sort through a wide variety of stocks for research purposes.

FYI: Im from Canada therefore I trade on the TSX.

    Hmm, that’s not an easy question to answer although simply directing you to google, doing random searches can often work surprisingly well, there are tools (stock screeners) out there that allow you to find such stocks.

    Here are a few free options: ( some of them don’t include TSX stocks (sorry))

    They have a search engine that you can plug in small cap, mid cap and so on, and what sector, in what price range…its very helpful

    I think the best free stock screener is run by Finviz.com.
