The Russell 2000 trailed the S&P 500 significantly in 2023, gaining about 17% compared to a gain of about 24% for the large cap index. That underperformance has spilled over into 2024.
As of July 10, 2024 the Russell 2000 YTD is about Zero compared to a 17.75% gain in the S&P 500 (SPX) and 23.50 gain in Nasdaq Composite Index (IXIC).
By the way, that valuation measures make the small cap Russell 2000 index much more compelling when compared to the S&P 500.
Small caps relative to the S&P 500 on a price-to-book basis is back to where it was in 1999. As of June 30, 2024 small caps price-to-book (P/B) ratio is 2.10, as it described on FTSE Russell 2000 Index Factsheet, while Total US Market (Russell 3000) P/B ratio is 4.42.
I'll be brief. Perhaps it will be the briefest brief over the past ten god years I'm here on TV.

👉 RUT/SPX ratio prints +9.65% in July, 2024 to this time. This is the biggest monthly gain since February, 2000. 👉 Just 4 Days left until end of month to cast in bronze this record gain. 👉 For newbies I remember that in March, 2000 major indices - SPX, DJI, NDX and IXIC hit the record high. Than all of them turned from 2x (SPX, DJI) to 4x (NDX, IXIC) down over the next 30 months.
