Small caps have outperformed for just about any time period over the last five years. Given the performance, it seems to be a no-brainer for me. I think they're higher risk than the S&P so I'm taking a small position relative to the total portfolio.

When the overly optimistic FOMC says that household spending will be "constrained" by sluggish income growth, ongoing job losses, lower household wealth, and tight credit AND Shanghai stocks hit a seven-week low, then you know this bear market rally is finally over!

QUICK! Pick a reason to exit a market that has risen too fast and gotten too expensive. Here are three to choose from: buying power is getting exhausted according to DeMark indicators; daily sentiment indicators are 88% bullish; RSI’s and oscillators are over extended.

Small cap value stocks outperform the market over time, altho the analysts ignore them.S1.

Coming out of the current economic doldrums small cap companys should bloom first. the question is when will the market turn around?

I choose a two year time frame. A up turn and recovery starting in the middle of 2009 and a decent increase in the speed of renewed growth by the end of 2010.

And as always its a Vanguard ETF so the cost is right. Buy and homework core pick as a counter to a large cap holding such as MGC.

We're in(or close to) the part of the economic cycle where small cap and growth tend to outperform. Even with large fluctuations over many cycles the overall return of small cap is greater on average. So if my timing is good, the chances are great that this pick will be a good long term play.

Small caps traditionally outperform large caps. These have lagged for some time. It's time for them to move next.

Nice simple, straight forward small/medium cap low cost ETF; post the boon from the Fed (.5% cut in interest) some of these smaller players should come back into play for acquisition.

When the large cap bull run gets tired, small caps will dominate. In the meantime, it trades in tandem with the S&P.

if you are young and building a new ETf portfolio i recommend adding this small cap ETF with little higher risk for high return . It is still better than buying individual stocks .

Small caps outperform large caps on average, over time. Earn returns in excess of the S&P 500 by owning this passively managed stock.
