Small Caps Stumble

DateWednesday, October 28, 2009 at 09:35AM

While the S&P 500 is testing its 50-day moving average today, the smallcap Russell 2,000 looks much worse.  As shown below, the Russell 2,000 failed to make a new high along with the S&P 500 earlier this month, and today the index broke below its lows from late September/early October.  With the index now below its sideways trading range from the last couple months, the trend looks to be down.

This yields better deals in the small cap arena! While some of the large caps pay nice dividends and will probably hold up better in a down economy their are many small caps with good balance sheets that should do well in the coming months.

When the markets are acting up like this, I tend to take a step back and rely on some of my lists and penny stock alerts. Reason being if I'm trending to loose upwards of 4 figures/day, better to scale back on trading and rely on either the penny stocks or forex for reliable movers.
