From Neglect The
idea that neglected stocks are worth paying attention to has a long and
illustrious history. Back in the 1970s and early 1980s, several academic
studies found that the average stock that was followed by no analyst on Wall

following. This pattern came to be known as the "neglected stock
effect."

stocks have run rings around their larger counterparts for six consecutive

stocks.
