Small-Cap Rally Has Legs

FYI: (Click On Article title At Top Of Google Search)
President-elect Donald Trump has promised to fight for the little guy. Whether he will or not remains to be seen, but his election has proved a boon for little stocks. Since Nov. 8, the small-cap Russell 2000 index has surged 10%, compared with a gain of 2% in the S&P 500. And the advance of the market’s small fry isn’t over yet.

There is good reason for small-caps’ outsize reaction. Although it hasn’t been discussed much since Trump’s victory, the president-elect won on a platform calling for more protectionism and less global trade. That would benefit smaller companies, which typically generate less than 20% of sales overseas, over larger companies, whose non-U.S. sales exceed 30%.
