D: Re: " I don't recall him saying that the R2000 would go down less in percentage but I would think that would be the case. Do you agree?"

No, I don't think Brinker said this either. The Russell may go down in a correction less but outperformance on the downside is a small reward. I mean if the NASDAQ gets a 20% hit and the Russell only gets a 15% hit, whoopee. I would expect the Russell in correction situation would at least take a 10% hit. Any further outperformance on the downside by the Russell would be unlikely in my opinion. Most likely any outperformance would be marginal. But if we did get such a correction, one would have to ask if the correction could be considered the catalyst for outperformance on the upside or would we go back top the same old large cap game. Would investors dump their small caps once again to ride the large cap wave on the upswing?

Now in a bear market, I would expect no real chance of outperformance on the downside in the Russell.
