This should help explain.
Generally though the smaller the market cap the higher risk/reward and the larger the market cap the lower risk/reward.
Large is generally $10billion plus. Medium $1-10billion and small is $1billion and below and then you get into micro/nano caps I guess.

Thanks for that, the investopedia link I found earlier didn't include the "Why it's important" section.
Another question though, of the examples I gave above, and using
It is safe for me to assume the MSFT is the best of those as far as being "safe", and I use that term loosely? And Hershey is more risky?
ETA another probably incredibly stupid question, but wouldn't someone like MSFT with a high market cap compared to Hershey with a lower one mean that there are way more shares outstanding? And here comes the real stupid part, but could I assume it is because no one wants them?
