CAPS Rating:
**

Exchange Traded Funds

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

On a market decline, the small caps will likely lose the most but, given the tight capital markets and projected slow growth in the US, they are likely to grow slower in an up market in the short term. So either way, this looks like a good CAPs pick (or a short hedge)

IWM is an ETF by IShares. IWM tracks the Russell 2000 Index. For those who do not know the Russell 2000 represents the approximately 2,0000 smalleset companies in the Russell 3000 index. The Russell 2000 is comprised of the small captilization section of the U.S. equity market. This ETF has a very low expense ration aroud 0.20%. I like this ETF because of its history. The Russell 2000 on average over a long period of time has produced better returns than the S&P 500. I believe that the Russell 2000 should be a part of most investors' portfolio's. The exact amount would depend on many factors including risk tolerance, time until the money is needed, return needs amoung others.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
