Now that the market has made a tremendous upward move and the large cap stocks are at their highs, more people are looking at smaller companies for some better values.
Obviously, this is going to raise the level of speculation and fear. And the news may impact oil prices, sending them higher, which would cap equities.
That's what is putting a cap on the good news in the market.
A lot of today's market is due to the flow of money going into pension funds and money managers. These are the types of investors who are more inclined toward the large cap stocks.
I do not buy this theory that, you know, the market is going to continue to move higher without the participation of the smaller cap stocks. It's just not in the cards.
