No doubt the small caps and Russell 2000 have been weak relative to the rest of the market (for almost the entire YTD for 2014). It's often interesting to look at the differences within the indexes and the market. In my folks account, we've traded a ton of small caps, as they allow for excellent entry points with their larger price swings. I'm often amused how often the bulk of our "free" stock is deep in the red, while the indexes are up or flat. A few heavy weights that have had a steady appreciation (like MSFT), tend to distort what the rest of the market is doing.

There aren't too many people who think we shouldn't have a correction soon. I'm in that camp but I really don't see the crash coming at this point. Once again, I don't discount a crash and truly believe it can happen at almost anytime. I just don't see the catalyst, even though it could be there and I'm just not reading the tea leaves properly!!
