- Friday, February 8, 12:23 PM Large inflows into stock mutual funds continue, with the amount since the year's start now at $24.9B, according to Lipper, the strongest run since April 2000. Do ETF flows show even more of a move towards risk? The mighty SPY moves from first to last, losing $3B in AUM last week, while the Russell 2000 Index (IWM) and the Real Estate ETF (IYR) jumped to the top. 9 Comments
- Monday, January 28, 7:27 AM "The bears are gone, extinct, vanished," writes John Hussman, with the only ones remaining being permabears or nutcases. "And yet, the historical evidence for major defensiveness has rarely been stronger." Capitulation is everywhere, he says, with even Alan Abelson telling investors to let profits run until stocks start to go the other way. 6 Comments
- Thursday, January 17, 10:05 AM Another day of outperformance by the small caps (IWM +0.5%) has the Russell 2000 at a new all-time high of 888. The mid-caps (MDY +0.6%) post an all-time high as well. Despite John Bogle's aversion, small-cap stocks do tend to offer better returns over the long haul. 9 Comments
- Monday, January 7, 12:47 PM With U.S. small caps "picked over," some managers are looking overseas for ideas. International valuations are at 13X earnings and dividend yields of 3% vs. domestic at 15X and 2%, according to Mark Bogar, whose firm is allocating 57% of it small cap exposure to foreign holdings, a big jump from a year ago. 1 Comment
- Wednesday, January 2, 11:09 AM It's a "high-beta" rally today, says Eddy Elfenbein, with the leaders being small cap stocks - the Russell 2000 (IWM) hitting an all-time high - tech, finance, and cyclicals. This is notable because high-beta rallies often pull along lower-quality stocks with them. 1 Comment
- Thursday, December 27, 2012, 8:59 AM As January goes, so goes the rest of the year is a well known Street factoid, but top-performing sectors in January also tend to outperform for the rest of the year, according to Sam Stovall. Ever-changing cycles: It's so well known small caps outperform large caps in January, now the move begins in mid-December, writes J.C. Parets. In fact this year, the Russell 2000 started outperforming in mid-November! Time to drop this sure thing. Comment! [Quick Ideas]
- Friday, December 21, 2012, 12:33 PM The technicians might find it interesting that the Russell 2000 is back at a "resistance level" it's touched and failed at a number of times going all the way back to 2007. Better luck this time? IWM -1.2%. 2 Comments
- Thursday, December 6, 2012, 3:46 PM John Bogle's never bought the idea that small caps outperform large caps over time, but his assertion is based on the removal from the 20th century a decade of particular small cap outperformance starting in 1973. Without it, he says, large caps have actually done better. Is this fair? What if we remove a decade of large cap dominance? In 2012, microcaps (IWC) have gained 15%, vs. 11.6% for the Russel 2000 (IWM), and 13.6% for the SPY. 2 Comments
- Wednesday, November 14, 2012, 11:16 AM Moving mostly in line with the S&P in the selloff since the Fed's mid-September QE∞ announcement, the Russell 2000 (IWM) begins to more sharply underperform over the past session and a half. The Russell's relative strength 2 months ago may have signalled a top. Could its weakness now be the start of a bottom forming? 1 Comment
- Wednesday, September 19, 2012, 8:56 AM The Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) has broken out to an all-time high while the Dow and S&P remain a few percentage points shy of theirs, notes John Spence. Not only have small caps shown relative strength of late, but sizable inflows into their ETFs (IWM AUM +4.5% just yesterday) also suggest a greater appetite for risk-taking among investors. 3 Comments
- Monday, September 10, 2012, 8:43 AM Under-exposed to equities (and underperforming them) for some time, hedge funds are changing course, writes Todd Salamone. Options activity in key stock index ETFs shows falling buy-to-open call volume, a sign, says Salamone, hedge funds are increasing exposure to stocks by covering shorts (thus buying fewer calls to hedge). Earlier: Not a good move, says Hussman. 4 Comments
- Wednesday, September 5, 2012, 7:16 AM Waiting for a rally in small caps as a sign the broader market is ready to break out to new highs? You've gotten it - the Russell 2000 (IWM) is up 6.6% since August 1 vs. SPY +2.2%. Small caps are often viewed as needing to outperform during uptrends to confirm investor appetite to take on risk. 1 Comment [Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, August 29, 2012, 11:43 AM A rally in small-caps could be given further momentum should the Fed - instead of QE - announce a program of incentives to juice bank lending, says RiverFront's Mike Jones. The boosted funding, he argues, might find its way into M&A, rather than plant and equipment. 3 Comments
- Thursday, August 2, 2012, 3:30 PM If it's a healthy sign when small caps (IWM) lead large caps (SPY) during a rally, then the recent move higher should come with a warning. Small caps failed to take out their July 19 high and instead made a series of lower highs that month, writes Joe Bell. Actually, the S&P outperformance has been going on for longer than 4 weeks. 5 Comments
- Wednesday, August 1, 2012, 12:02 PM The S&P 500 widened its recent lead over small-caps in July (SPY +1.55%, IWM -1.92%). On a Y/Y basis, SPY has outperformed IWM by 889 basis points. Interestingly, Microcaps (IWC) - after a rough (relative) year in 2011 - are neck and neck with the S&P thus far in 2012. Comment!
- Monday, July 9, 2012, 1:34 PM Giving the bulls hope for a continued run higher are the small caps (IWM) outperforming the S&P 500 (SPY) for the last month (+5.9% vs. +3.2%). Relative strength in small caps typically leads the broader market higher, says technical analyst Tarquin Coe. 1 Comment
