>>Here is where you could find Russell 2000 valuations: ...There is, according to Frank Russell, $7.9 billion indexed to the Russell 2000. <<< WOW A whole whopping 7.9 Bil! Enough to buy out a single mid cap like PSFT! Or maybe CA can buy em all out and make the small caps as a wholy owned and serviced subsidary. Or maybe MSFT can buy em out as a tax deduction, for cash!

James- OT I keep travelling so much that my favourite sites are not on the same machine, I would like you to do me a favor when you have time, please post links of important sites and kindly post the links on this thread I have some from Idea home page and with your new links I will be well positioned to get the info. AT and James- I would like to know what P/E these small caps indexes are trading at? I wanted to know the potential of a move and pin down the top if I had this info. I would assume if Nifty fifty or S&P have a P/E of 27 considering average growth rate of 20-35% I would be able to add the premium on small caps as I have some ideas on the growth rates of the small caps in new environment.. AT seems to rightly pointing on the low cpa - if we take Russel 3000 total cap of 550 billion even if this moves 100% to 1 trillion, the impact on overall market caoitalisation will not be more than 5%, in other words we can be still below 9000 and small stocks can see a huge rally? Your comments please..
