RE: [RT] Mid-cap relative strength - top out, or more of the same?

I would expect the S&P Mid-cap index to continue to out-perform the
S&P 500 index.   In the same manner I'd expect the S&P Small-cap index
to continue to out-perform the S&P Mid-cap index.

The dip in your ratio from the beginning of 1994 to the beginning of
1999 is very surprising - the dip  during those 5 years suggests to me
there was perhaps an over-investment in the S&P 500 stocks.  That
over-investment may be unwinding as P/E to growth ratio's for the S&P
500 continue to drop back to more reasonable levels.

S&P 500 stocks would seem even more over-valued if stock options were
accounted for properly - one recent study indicated stock options
tended to be used most heavily in large-cap stocks.  You would think
stock options would be used most heavily in smaller companies that
perhaps can't afford the highest salaries.
