IntroductionInformation is the investor's best tool when it comes to investing wisely. But accurate information about 'microcap stocks' - low-priced stocks issued by the smallest of companies - may be difficult to find. Many microcap companies do not file financial reports with the SEC, so it's hard for investors to get the facts about the company's management, products, services, and finances. When publicly-available information is scarce, fraudsters can easily spread false information about microcap companies, making profits while creating losses for unsuspecting investors. Even in the absence of fraud, microcap stocks historically have been more volatile and less liquid than the stock of larger companies.Before you consider investing in a microcap company, arm yourself first with information.

That is one of the simulators I use, and I've added many components tothe program. The Component menu is controlled by the ComponentEditor. The tree structure in the Component editor is the structureof the Component menu.
If these are SPICE subcircuit parts (.SUBCKT)that you are adding, you can use the Import Wizard in the Componenteditor. This will add in any new parts from the library. Not sure ifthis is available in the demo. Some parts may need some work after,but they will be flagged for you.The other option is to add the parts individually, and there's an AddPart Wizard for that. I haven't really used this one since I've beena Micro-Cap user for a long time so I still use my original methodwhen adding one part. Hard to break old habits.Alex.
