Borb,
how true.. I was lucky enough not to buy bluechips in JApan. Mostly because they lack focus and are a "portfolio" in itself, difficult to analyze, no pure plays.. the only drawback on smaller, secondary stocks is usualyl the large shareholding usually by major firms. Often they sell shares in the open market.

Best smallcaps were those where the founder was the major shareholder. Another factor limiting potential stocks to flood the market are those firms where the controlling sharedholder has just a tad above 50%. If they want to continue to include the subsidiary's balsheet and P&L in group consolidated figures then that stake must not drop below 50% - essentially ruling out selling shares on the open market..
