excellent piece on smallcaps out of favor... best total picture I have read yet... another large factor IMO is the lack of Russell equivalent like DIA and SPDR trading on the exchanges... funds routinely hedge with short positions on DIA (Dow Ind Avg) share equivalents and on SPDR (S&P Dep Receipts)... funds not permitted to hedge on futures, but can with OEX,SPX index puts... but without the time decay the DIA,SPDR equivs are nice... and DIA,SPDR allows shorting on downticks

smallcaps need an Russell2000 or Wilshire5000 equivalent tradable on AMEX by funds long or short... this would give them huge liquidity... SPDR was an instant success story

mutual funds and index funds rule the day, fact of life, deal with it

hard to be too pissed off, THQI is up 180% in 12 months... get too greedy, lose chimmychongas
