Smaller cap stocks have outperformed 6 straight years in a row (and so
far into this year as well.) The equal weighted S&P 500 is outperforming
the Cap weighted index. Your larger sample size includes a broader class
of the performing issues. Just as an FYI... the last time we had 6 years
of small cap out-performance was 1976-1982 which was also a period
marked by rising commodities, inflation, and interest rates...sound
familiar?
