Paul Elliott over at Motley Fool had an entertaining story this weekend about the value of smaller, lesser known stocks.

A Midwest billionaire once claimed he could earn 50% per year on a portfolio of ordinary common stocks. Of course, there was one condition.

As the story goes on you find out that the investor was Warren Buffett. And the one condition? That he not have much money (by his standards) in the portfolio – less than $1 million.

Elliot's piece takes an interesting look at the risks involved and the attitudes you need. You can read the whole article here.
