Market capitalization is an important point of information for the investor an eye for various reasons. The main reason is that there is assigned a true comparison of the value of the stock market for the shares of a particular company. Many novice investors watch stock at $ 10 and another trading at $ 20 and mistakenly think the latter company is worth twice as much - which is of course completely free of sense compared without knowing how many there are shares of each company. But comparing market capitalization (factoring in the fees of shares) creates a true comparison of "apples to apples" in the value of the two stocks in the case of Michael Kors Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: KORS)., Market capitalization is now $ 12.42B compared to Netflix Inc. (NASD: NFLX) to $ 12.40B.

Another reason is market capitalization is important where a company puts in terms of size levels compared to peers - much like the way a mid-size sedan is usually compared to other sedans average size (not SUV). This may also have a direct impact on the notes, shares, mutual funds and ETFs are and are willing to own the stock. For example, a mutual fund that exclusively stocks with large market capitalization, for example, focuses only interested in this size businesses be 10000000000 dollars or more. Another illustrative example is the S & P MidCap Index, which is essentially the S & P 500 index and "throw" the 100 largest companies to focus solely on the 400 smaller "up-and-comers" (the right of environment can outperform their larger competitors.) and ETFs that follow an index directly as the S & P 500 is the element underlying the index, the sale of companies than lose their status S & P 500 company and the purchase of companies when they are included in the index. Thus, the market capitalization of a company, especially in comparison to other companies, of great importance, and for this reason we find in the online investor in determining this value looks every day on comparative market capitalization.
