These Were the Five Best and Worst Performing Small-Cap Stocks in August 2022

So far, 2022 has been rough for small-cap stocks. These stocks, however, often have more upside than large-cap stocks, especially during a bull market.

This is because investors are encouraged to put more money in the stock market to benefit from the bull market.

The opposite is true as well though, since small-cap stocks are more volatile, and thus, losses could magnify if the trade goes wrong.

To give you an idea of the return you could make (or lose) from small-cap stocks in the short-term, detailed below are the five best and worst performing small-cap stocks in August 2022.

7 Water Stocks to Buy as the World Dries Up

Many of us will read this and be oblivious to the worldwide crisis. But if the current trends continue, it will become real to all of us soon enough. Most of us learned in elementary school that 97% of the world's water is salt water. And only about 1% of the total water supply is drinkable.

That is becoming difficult math for several areas of the world. A severe, multi-year drought is causing water levels to sink to historically low levels. And the federal government is threatening to cut water use by 25% in the most-affected states of Arizona, California, and Nevada.

And even if we're not put under water restrictions, we are all likely to see higher costs for food. One reason for that is that about 25% of the nation's food supply comes from California. An American Farm Bureau Federation survey conducted in 2021 found that 40% of farmers sold off part of their cattle herds.

 But opportunities present themselves in the midst of crisis, and this is no difference. In this special presentation, we're looking at seven water stocks that look like smart buys as the world grapples for solutions.
