- "Investors should prepare for a bout of significant Russell 2000 underperformance," presciently wrote Michael O'Rourke of Jones Trading last night, noting how unusual it was to see the DJIA off 2.3% YTD, but the Russell up 1%. Look for that performance gap to close, he said.
- Closing it is today, with the small-cap index off 2.5%, about 1% worse than the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq. The iShares Russell 2000 Index ETF (IWM) -2.7%.
