One of the big attractions of small capitalization stocks is the possibility of significant growth. They&s;re small right now but, if the business plan and business reality come together, investors believe they can make more money and more quickly than taking positions in the big and more established names of the S&a;amp;P. That&s;s the idea, anyway, and, up until recently, it seemed to be playing out.
But something&s;s changed. Last week, the S&a;amp;P 500 index held above a significant previous support level -- but the Russell 2000 index of small capitalization stocks did not. It&s;s been steadily sliding for many sessions but on Friday, the RUT dropped below the level of the July lows.
The divergence may be telling us a couple of things: 1) the stock market taken as whole is weaker than is generally thought since we&s;re now seeing a divergence in these 2 closely watched measures and 2) it may be inappropriate to get too excited about the hotness of the economy.
