Fantastic analysis and paints a very strong picture of how a game squeeze juiced the small caps and the inverse correlation between large cap tech and small caps. That said there is a really important piece of the analysis missing from this thesis. Small caps historically underperform at the beginning of the rate cut cycle and begin to outperform at the end of rate cutting cycle. Which seems counter intuitive but actalually makes perfect sense. Fed cuts rates when they anticipate softening in consumer and corporate credit. Making this probably the worst time to jump into small caps just before a possible weakening in the economy or recession not to mention the Trillion dollars elephant sitting on small banks books CRE! Even with Trump and yield curve the banks could soon have to realize 100’s of Billions of dollars of bad loans sitting on there books that haven’t been marked to market. Nobody wants to talk about it bit it is a real problem!
