One great thing about small cap stocks is that even though a company has picked up some traction recently, it is still too small to be seen in the eyes of institutional investors. Thus, there is still plenty of time for retail investors to jump into a good business before large-pocketed institutions take a stake. That being said, the following stocks experienced a significant increase in traded volume over the last week, in comparison to the previous three months of trading.
