They are more tied to the global economic boom and hence can take advantage of Chindia, South America etc - whereas many small caps are levered to the US economy.So I think its a bet of which economy is going to outpace the next few years? US or global? I bet global. By 2010 or so housing should have bottomed and I can see a return of small cap strength.

Because mutual funds have restrictions that limit them from buying large portions of any one issuer's outstanding shares, some mutual funds would not be able to give the small cap a meaningful position in the fund.

Like other funds it has it ups and downs. I just think it is a cycle they are going through and will come up again soon.
