Didn't Farma and French show that small-cap value stocks outperform over long periods?

Of course small-cap values do not do that every year. My point was that no segments outperform all the time.

Yes. Supposedly cheap (as in, low book value) & small outperform consistently with long intermediate underperforming stretches.

Greenblatt claims cheap (as in, low P/E) and high ROIC works.

All those make sense: big companies can't go 10x as easy as small companies, a high ROIC indicates a company with a winning business model, and low competition. Cheap doesn't need explanation I guess.

The volatility however in aggregate goes up as well. Small companies go bust more easily, for example.

Looks like all 3 major indices will be at new highs today, or in the near future. It's been an interesting ride, so far this year!

PSA: S&P500 traded at over 2200 overnight. I recall some folks were saying they would take action at 2200 or other were bets made, but I forget the details.

It would be great if the last 2 years of consolidation serves as a rally base, but we will just have to wait and see.

I took 2% out of equities in August around 2185 as part of a long term AA adjustment approaching RE. Now I will look to 2300.

Wow! That's lovely that the market is doing so well. S&P 2202, Dow 19,001.

Back when I did my original Wheee!!! post, in 2007, the Dow had just risen past 14,000 and that was a record high. Now, we would all be crestfallen if the market fell down to that level.

I'm just watching CAPE10 climb up steeply as company earnings haven't been keeping up with equity prices.

I'm expecting my portfolio to take a severe beating one of these days, who knows when, but we are almost 8 years from the low of 2009. We had a solid correction at the start of this year, but it didn't slow down the rise much.

Santa Claus rally time - it looks like a classic this year. This is the time of year my distributions are paid in cash and I take my annual withdrawal. I always prefer my equities be higher when distributions are paid and I take my withdrawal.

OK, so I suggest you wait until Dow 21,000 this time!

Yeah, we should have a poll on Q1 2017 equity returns.

My (virtual) money would be on minus 10%.

What's the fun in that!


Ah well, it's up and down, up and down, the market rollercoaster again.

Great contrast: Blue shirt vs. Yellow shirt reaction.

Blue shirt looks happy like me. Yellow shirt looks kind of bored, though, probably dreading the inevitable drop.
