Stock performance after recession Thursday, February 14, 2008

For the final post of this three part series and in light of the current economic climate, we have complied some information on stock performance after recessions.

As you know, the data only shows up to 2002 and small caps continued their incredible run in recent year but again, the data highlights a dramatic over-performance of small caps vs. large caps.

Naturally, this does not mean that this pattern will continue to play out but we still feel that it is interesting to note and to conclude, that despite recent small cap performance, we still feel that we prefer to look for value in the small cap universe, looking for long-term returns.

We hope you found this series of data/graphs of interest!
