On 21 July last year, we ran our technical screens which showed small caps stating to emerge as new potential leaders. We then asked the question: Is It Time For Small Caps?

The chart below shows the 4 major indices since then:

IWM Russell 2000 ETF (Small Caps) + 31.96%
Nasdaq +27.07%
S&P 500 Index +20.10%
Dow Jones Industrial Average +16.90%

Performance snapshot as of 20h40 on Monday 15 June.
