Robert,
While Small Cap Value is leading, the small cap growth, mid cap =
growth, mid cap value are also very strong and posting similar results. =
All of them are dwarfing large cap value and growth.
Since the most recent market bottom 9/21, here are the returns using =
the ETF's as proxy:
Small Cap Growth: +34.78%
Mid Cap Growth: + 33.5%
Small Cap Value: + 45.35%
Mid Cap Value: + 34.8%
Certainly nothing to sneeze at.

Duke, Tom, jans,
I'll bet the small to large cap migration has more to do with =
the length of the Secular Bull than anything else. In the early stages =
of a new Bull market, small caps (especially those with high growth =
characteristics) lead the market. It makes intuitive sense. As the bull =
wears on, those "small caps" become "big caps" as more and more money =
is drawn to the stock. It's the very thing that CANSLIM is looking for =
in the "I"...that is, you watch for evidence of institutional monies =
moving into the stock and then just follow their lead. Once the stocks =
put in their 3rd and 4th stage bases, everybody knows about them and =
their market caps are quite large in comparison to where they were when =
they blew out of their first stage bases. Nearly every high flier late =
in '98 and '99 was a late stage base. Only those companies that have the =
wherewithal to survive as a business and expand their markets will set =
up new first stage bases. Non-CANSLIMers are still chasing AOL, DELL, =
CSCO, etc., all former winners and all large caps due to their huge runs =
in the 90's. CANSLIMers know better....go to strength, regardless of =
market cap. It just so happens small and mid-cap are leading right now =
and that is one more piece of evidence for the "emerging new bull" point =
of view.

Duke,
We don't need a new letter, we already have "S". Of course, =
over the years
WON has redefined this letter. In my first edition of HTMMIS, =
this letter
was defined as "S=3DSupply and Demand: Small Capitalization =
Plus Volume
Demand" and WON indicated that you should look for a company =
with only a few
million shares outstanding. He also favored "Stocks that have =
a large
percentage of ownership by top management are generally your =
better
prospects". He also noted that the "average capitalization of =
top performing
listed stocks from 1970 through 1982 was 11.8 million shares. =
The median
stock exhibited 4.6 million shares outstanding before =
advancing rapidly in
price."
Of course, a lot has changed since my copy was published in =
1991, and I
doubt either WON or IBD today would champion small cap stocks, =
much less
ones this small. WON went over to the big cap camp over five =
years ago, and
I have seen little evidence of him adhering to the "S" since =
then.

Katherine and Duke:
In today's Investor's Corner (4/15) the column focuses on =
the fact
that
small caps are doing well while the big caps are lagging. =
This approach
is
interesting. Apparently one should look at: The Mkts ->The =
Industry ->
The
Capitalization (whether the stock is a big cap or a small cap =
makes a
difference, according to the article, regarding the =
probability that the
stock will take off. If small caps are currently being =
favored than
investing in big caps is less likely to garner a winner.)
-> (and finally) The Stock.
So it looks as if one should go through the above =
checklist to find
a
stock that will be a winner. (Apropos, I wonder if anyone has =
compared
the
industry [I know CANSLIM uses a Strong Industry as a necessary
forerunner of
a strong stock] with the favored capitalization at the time.
For instance, if XYZ industry is the industry that =
CANSLIM/WON
favors at
the present, would the capitalization of the stock that is in =
that
industry
make a significant difference as to its return, ie. do the =
statistics
confirm
that not only the industry, but also the capitalization of the =
stock in
that
industry, is a big factor in the movement up of that stock? )
