A Small Cap stock I found while screening stock on Barchart is Silicon Graphics (SGI). In this fast changing technological world companies that provide others with technology solutions should prosper. Increases in both sales and earnings are forecasted for this one.

It is dedicated to solving these industries' most demanding business and technology challenges. It is a provider of servers, storage, and data center solutions targeting data center deployments.
