It seems that Ishares and Powershares have just came out with two competing micro-cap ETFs. One follows an index (IWC) while the other is actively managed to pick the best micro-caps out there (PZI) They seem like an interesting tool to diversify your portfolio.
I like the idea of the actively managed one myself because they pick out the stocks that look like they are going to make a decent return. A good manager can do very well by picking the right micro-caps to invest in. I don't like how they are benchmarking against some Zacks proprietary index though. It makes it so it is too easy to move the bar on the shareholders.

you might try reading the Zacks whitepaper available at http://micro.zacks.com for some perspective.
