Good point. I hate it when people make assertions with no facts behind them and I just did that, didn't I? LOL. Anyway, you folks know that I am mostly into mutual funds, so I'll tell you some good small cap growth (SCG) and value (SCV) funds that have done really well. I have holdings in the first two myself and am pleased with my combined results over the last couple of years, especially given how crappy the stock market in general has done in 2000 & 2001 (EDGEX lost me money in 2001, but is up so far this year). EDGEX (SCG) - biz.yahoo.com SSRAX (SCV) - biz.yahoo.com WMICX (SCG) - biz.yahoo.com FMIOX (SCG) - biz.yahoo.com RGFAX (SCV) - biz.yahoo.com SSRCX (SCV) - biz.yahoo.com The rest you can get straight from yahoo's site on top performing funds. (SCG) biz.yahoo.com (SCV) biz.yahoo.com Don't look at the ones that have performed well in the short term. Check out the ones that have performed well over the last 5 years. Those usually have stronger management teams. What's interesting about it is that most of the top performers for the last 5 years did extraordinarily well in 2000 & 2001. That's why people keep talking about the stealth bull market in small cap stocks. It's real, you just have to know where to look. BTW, this is another very good case for diversification. One last thing, I am a little overweighted in small cap now, since I've done well in this area, while my large caps have really sucked in the last two years. So I'll be reweighting again by the end of the year to balance out of the risk as the economy returns to normal growth. Hope this helps and good luck!
