Listen "Inbound Questions On Small Caps; Investor Sentiment Getting Too Enthusiastic"
Episode Synopsis
Today in the podcast, three big things you need to know: First, similar to the S&P 500, R2000 returns tend to be positive but modest in Presidential election years. Second, the valuation appeal of Small Caps runs deep and exists within both Growth and Value using both equal weighted and market cap weighted P/E’s. But Small Caps’ valuation appeal has only recently emerged on equal weighted P/E’s, helping explain why Small Caps have had a difficult 2023. Third, investor sentiment is on the cusp of looking overly enthusiastic again on the weekly AAII survey, restraining our enthusiasm for the US equity market in the near-term.
