Chart of the day
A common topic this time of year is the January effect. Many long-term studies have confirmed that small stocks have consistently outperformed their large stock counterparts in January. However, today's Chart of the Day demonstrates that the January effect may be due for a name change, as small-caps have not been keeping pace over the past decade. What happened? One likely possibility is that the very popularity of this anomaly has changed investor behavior. So if recent trends continue, be prepared for the December / February effect.
