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.
The Russell 2000 recently dropped to a 12-month low but it still isn't cheap. The S&P 600 fared better during this time (and long-term) due to additional criteria applied for index inclusion. I was never a fan of the Russell 2000 because it tends to include more unprofitable companies. Also, front-running the index before its annual reconstitution is not uncommon.
