Boyd: Often studies such as the one you linked to are flawed by survival bias: They look at the index data without considering the impact of the little fellers that didn't quite make it each year. Another source of inaccuracy is failure to adjust for spreads which can be huge when the best 'buying opportunities' occur. I'm not saying small caps aren't, for the individual investor, a good place to be...just that there are contrary findings out there.
