Can the small caps rise while the big caps tread water or even fall? Not very likely, but one possibility is that small cap rise at much faster pace then big cap. this kind of thing happened before. as i mentioned in my previous post several weeks ago that we are hitting a bottom. i can't predict so precise what will happen from now, but i hope or think we have a some what small or flat rise in big cap, but big rise in small cap.

Shane, >>One difference, however, is that the small caps are at much reduced valuations from earlier in the year. The Dow stocks have not showed the same weakness, and this dichotomy still causes caution IMO. Can the small caps rise while the big caps tread water or even fall?<< I agree with you on the valuation front. I think what matters if you are a long term value investor is that if you choose the right companies, and they are undervalued, they will outperform the market. I would be less concerned about the general market level and its possible direction. That good advice given....I am a little more nervous and cautious than usual.
