      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? =
)

            << MessageHi Duke,

             I read the article and thought the same thing. I think the =
real issue
            is
            that when all stocks are not in a Bull Market, you can't =
talk
            meaningfully
            about "THE Market" any longer. For example, the last couple =
of years of
            "the
            great Bull", the Dow ran sideways while the NASDAQ screamed. =
The article

            today only reinforces that notion. That is, some stocks are =
going up,
            others
            are going down, others are moving sideways. That's always =
the case, but
            when
            equities aren't the absolute best place to put your money =
for "sure"
            gains,
            the marginal dollars will flow to other investment classes =
and the rest
            of
            the market will ebb and flow. If nothing else, it just =
reminds us as
            CANSLIM
            investors that we have to pick only the best candidates and =
follow sound

            buy/sell rules. I don't think there's going to be a clear =
direction for
            "the
            Market" as a whole for many years. We're going to have to =
read the
            health of
            the CANSLIM market (i.e. CANSLIM-quality stocks) and then go =
for
            strength
            within that.

             Katherine

             PS.... The term "rally" is used in many contexts, even =
within the IBD
            and
            Investors.com. Is it an upswing? Is it action after a =
followthru day? Is
            it a
            Bull? How persistent does an upswing need to be before it's =
no longer
            considered "a rally"? Rally relative to what? relative to =
when?
            Geez....very
