The advantage of investing in small cap stocks is the opportunity to beat institutional investors. Small cap stocks have historically outperformed large cap stocks.
Let's examine the technicals of the chart of (INSG) Inseego Corp provides fifth generation (5G) and intelligent Internet of things (IoT) device-to-cloud solutions.
As of 01/20/2020 RSI is at 69.30 and appears to be moving higher. INSG is at 9.15 and above the mid-point on the Keltner channels. The 50 day EMA has crossed over the 100 Day EMA which indicates a bullish move. The 50 day EMA is also looking like it's moving higher. The Force Index is Green and appears ready to go higher. The ADX Green line is above the Red and the black line is above 20 at 34.89 which indicates a strong trend. My recommendation is that it has the right characteristics to be a buy but may soon be ready for a pull-back.

Fundamentals for a Small Cap Strategy
Since the Technicals look strong let's examine some of the Fundamentals. INSG is part of the 5G revolution, which is currently a hot sector. As of 12/31/18 INSG had positive Operating Income of $14,011. So for my small cap strategy: I like to buy the stock of a well-positioned company and also buy call options In-The-Money(ITM) as I can afford for the longest time period of time. Since the option is in a strong sector, 5G, I can afford to hold it longer and the ITM option should lose less value if there is a down-turn. My Total investment was $480 to test the system, $220 invested in the stock and $220 invested in the call option. It's a low cost strategy(Under $500) that can bring high reward potential and I can sell the Call option and buy a put option if I want to protect my stock. I bought various purchases of INSG since 11/19 when it was trading for $5.11.I may never have to sell the stock, as I ride both puts and calls on the stock.More Notes on the Small Cap Strategy
I only hold the option for a week or two unless it shows good strength. If it is progressing well, then I can hold it for a profit and even sell some and buy-back either more ITM calls or shorter time periods to ride the option, if its moving to oversold territory. With options I have the potential to hold the stock forever using puts and calls for protection and income to buy more stock. Options give me additional diversity. Another stock to consider in the 5G zone would be Qualcom (QCOM) or Gilat Satellite Networks(GILT). For QCOM I didn't have enough money to buy many shares so I bought the option for 1 QCOM Jan 31 '20 $92 Call(QCOM) @ $1.40 for = for $141 on 1/16/20 and I sold the option one day later 1 QCOM Jan 31 '20 $92 Call(QCOM) @ $3.10 for $169 Profit. For GILT I bought some shares and 3 options 3 GILT Jun 19 '20 $12.50 Call(GILT) @ $0.15 for $47 and I sold two days later 3 CALL GILT 06/19/20 12.50 GILAT SATELLITE NETWORKS for $88 a $41 profit.
