Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: While a lot of investors have written off the Russell 2000 and small cap stocks since the index's peak in early March, a look at the index's chart shows that it has, more than anything else, been trading in a range bound consolidation mode. This is a topic we have covered in the past, but with the index's recent moves, it warrants an update.
