My first book, The Small-Cap Investor: Secrets to Winning Big with Small-Cap Stocks, is coming out on September 14. I've been working on the book for a year and a half, and after many fits and starts, I'm pleased to say the publisher just told me that the book is on the presses, being printed right now (you can pre-purchase the book through Amazon).

I'm incredibly excited about the upcoming release, and relieved to have the book completed. In The Small-Cap Investor: Secrets to Winning Big with Small-Cap Stocks, I share my strategies for finding, researching, evaluating, and profitably buying and selling small-cap stocks for big profits. I hope my experiences will help you with your personal investment portfolio.

As part of the book marketing, I've bought the November 10 sponsorship of I Wear Your Shirt. I Wear Your Shirt has a neat concept, allowing marketers to rent a full day of Jason wearing their shirt and getting exposure through his social media networks including YouTube, Twitter, Upstream.tv, and his blog. January 1 sells for $1, and December 31 sells for $365. @IWearYourShirt currently has 14,768 Twitter followers, making this a significant marketing opportunity.

Problem is, I don't have a T-shirt that can be used to promote the book. So I'm inviting my blog readers, newsletter subscribers, @IanWyatt Twitter followers, and friends to share their ideas for a great T-shirt slogan than can be used to promote my book, The Small-Cap Investor: Secrets to Winning Big with Small-Cap Stocks. I'm looking for something funny or clever, related to investing in the stock market and small-cap stocks. You can view the cover and find out more about my book on Amazon by clicking here (you can also pre-purchase it today).

Send me a slogan, tag-line, and idea for a great T-shirt. You can email your ideas to or post to our Facebook discussion page and become a fan of Small Cap Investor on Facebook by clicking here. Please share your ideas by August 9.
 
After receiving submissions, I'll select my favorite three ideas. I'll then invite everyone to vote on your favorite T-shirt concept. The concept that gets the most votes will be the winner, and will be printed on T-shirts and used in our promotional materials for the book, and worn by Jason on I Wear Your Shirt on November 10.
 
I have some great prizes lined up for those who participate:
    - Everyone: a 30-day, 100% complimentary trial to SmallCapInvestor PRO (a $41.25 value)
    - 3rd place: a signed copy of the book and one t-shirt
    - 2nd place: a 1-year subscription to SmallCapInvestor.com PRO ($495 value), plus a signed copy of the book and one t-shirt
    - 1st place: a 1-year subscription to ALL Business Financial Publishing newsletters and trading services ($2,680 value), plus a signed copy of the book and three t-shirts

I need your help, and know you'll have some great ideas for a creative and funny t-shirt to help promote my book. Thanks in advance for your ideas, and help in making my first book a big success. Just email your ideas to me at .  Or become a Small Cap Investor fan on Facebook (just search "Small Cap Investor") and post your idea to our discussion page. Thanks for your help.
