Bruce, Great dissertaion of the facts about the average small- and large-cap stocks. I had no idea of those details. On the other hand, :) I may be way off-target here but I'm really not interested in the average stock of any kind. My investment strategies are aimed at selecting stocks that are far above average. One thing I wonder about how the stats are collected. When a small-cap stock grows into a large-cap stock in only a couple years and goes on to increaase ten-fold in the next ten years, do those statistics track the growth of that stock for the entire period? If not, my thinking is that the statistics are wildly misleading. I believe you and I invested in Siebel when it was a small-cap stock. Now that it's a large-cap stock, my portfolio's spreadsheet doesn't calculate the growth from here going forward. Instead, it calculates the growth beginning when it was a small-cap stock. :) --Mike Buckley
