I've always preferred the small caps and the Mid caps,as they have better percentage advances and are more nimble. What may be the sleeper however is the S&P? I have always preferred the mid caps and then the russell - equal weight. That being said,they have out performed and maybe it is time for the US banks to be differentiated from the european banks and the UK banks(so S&P is weighted that way I've been told). I read along time ago that the US banks were much less levered than EU or UK. They've(UK and EU) been whistling past the graveyard hoping no one would notice -THEY HAVE THE BIGGER PROBLEMS. It just might be that the S&P with US banks having been less levered and fixed first - get the boost - NOT beacause they are so good - but just that they are strongest - in a relative way?? COULD BE A REAL SLEEPER? I'm thinking of equal weighting and S&P has lagged,might just be the darling of the bunch? One more dip and I'm going aggressive. Want to hit that 3 wave up with as much as I can sleep with! Gulp<smile> Bob
