Subject: Re: when will small caps rebound?
the very few private smalls that survive and grow quickly will get 99% of the publicity, as usual.

The whole question might be moot soon enough. There were 8090 US public companies in 1996. Last year it was down to 4010. If 1000 are mid and large caps, then the number of small caps has already dropped by 58%. In that light, it's a little less surprising that there are fewer stars to be found...there are fewer duds, too.
