You're probably right. If you're good at stock picking, small caps would be a good place.Small cap companies, in my opinion, are priced for recession with multiples closer to 12 times earnings. So an economic outcome better than these depressed expectations provides upside to these smaller companies.
In other words there are many stocks left behind that still trade at recession levels.
I have visions of all those clever, hard working MBAs analyzing large cap stocks every which way. No bargains to be found there. But they may not be interested in small caps because they're too small to be worth the effort.
