Subject: Re: Who is having success with smallcaps?
To invest in small caps now, an ETF like IWM may be the way to go. You get the diversification, and small caps generally do well in January.
The rally in small caps continues, and IWM is now up 7.5% in the 2 weeks since I wrote the above. IWM has lagged the large caps all year, so it's only fair that they get their turn in the spotlight. I intend to hold my IWM shares (first purchased on Dec 4) at least through the end of Jan, and hope the Jan effect happens next month. Will sell only if IWM falls below its 50dma.
