Market Cap
Total dollar value of a company: share price x outstanding shares.
Mega cap (>$200B): AAPL, MSFT. Large cap ($10-200B): big blue chips. Small cap ($300M-$2B): volatile, higher beta. Micro cap (<$300M): penny-stock territory. Market cap buckets define how stocks behave and what kind of volume they attract.
