This is the best time of the year for stocks.

And stocks are doing very well.

In other words, perfectly normal market behavior.

In fact, this is exactly when Small-caps historically start to outperform their large-cap counterparts.

And sure enough, that's exactly what we're seeing.

Here's a great chart from Jeff Hirsch and Jay Kaeppel showing these seasonal tendencies:

Over the past few weeks, they've been telling me every day how small-cap underperformance is going to drag the rest of the market lower.

Fortunately around here we actually take the time to do the work.

And it's paying us very well.

I think a good lesson here is to actually take the time count how many stocks are going up and how many are going down.

And if you don't have time to do it, or don't want to do it, at least find someone who does and get their notes.

Trust me.
