The Small Cap Index On A Five Day Winning Streak

The Small Cap Index (small-cap 600) was up every day this week, five consecutive higher closes. For long-term investors, this is meaningless, for traders it might not be the best time to get overly aggressive, perhaps, slow down for the next 5 days.

In the last five years, (up 5-days in a row) it has happened 21 times, the average final return five-day return has been +0.13%.

Totals and average return for lowest return, highest return, and final return in the next 5-days.

Obviously, there is no edge in trying to short, but there is a slight edge in slowing down. The Small-cap index has only been up 6 consecutive days 13 times in the last 5-years, and only 5 times up seven days in a row.

Work With Me

We live in a world in which we are bombarded with information, tweets, blogs, etc., content is the new salesman, content is the new marketing, content is the new networking. With information being so readily available, bloggers try to differentiate themselves with their writing skills, volume, and consistency, putting out blog posts to meet quotas. We are seeking to stand out from the crowd by showing performance, by taking all the information and seeking alpha, that’s the sole purpose of the blog. It won’t always be pretty; it’s never easy, and performance is spotty, but we seek superior risk-adjusted returns, not notoriety for our writing skills.  If this is something you can relate to, then this blog is for you.
