Watch this space: The Russell 2000 isn’t the only index of small stocks on
the rise. The Russell Microcap Index, which includes some of the tiniest US
public firms, is up 65% from its March low.
That said, since 2010, the Russell 2000 has risen 148%, while the S&P 500 is
up 205%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq is nearly 400% higher.
