Top Small Cap Stocks To Buy Right Now

Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL  ) investors may already be on edge as of late, with the company's stock down about 20% from a year ago, and profit down over $2 billion this past quarter, year over year. Although Apple recently announced share repurchases, and boosted its dividend by 15%, many Apple stock investors aren't satisfied.

To top it all off, the latest numbers from Canalys show that Apple's arch rival, Samsung, shipped 82.2 million smart devices in Q1 2013, taking up 26.6% of the worldwide smart device market, while Apple took 19.3%. Surprisingly, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT  ) took the No. 3 spot with 18.1%, mainly becuase Canalys considers smart devices to be smartphones, tablets, and notebooks.

The numbers aren't exactly detrimental to Apple, but they should still concern investors. For a while, Apple held tablet and smartphone dominance, but its grip is starting to wane.
