Has the day of the small-cap stock dawned at last? Jonathan Vyorst, Paradigm Funds co-portfolio manager, thinks so, and he has a couple of recommendations.
His five-star Paradigm Value Fund is up an average of 24.6 percent per year over the last five years.

], a REIT whose stock was badly battered by the collapses of Carlyle Capital and Bear Stearns.
"It only invests in Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs," he explained. "We've had a big problem in the mortgage market recently, but the reality is, Fannie Maes and Freddie Macs carry an implicit guarantee by the U.S. government, so here's a company now that's selling for just under seven dollars a share that's going to be able to distribute about 90 cents in dividends this year."
