Small-cap stocks have been outperforming since last summer, states JC Parets of AllStarCharts.com.
The outperformance has certainly continued in 2023. For one, small-cap stocks tend to have less of a correlation with the overall market than their larger-cap counterparts. But one of the things I really like about this group is the fact that institutional accumulation can't hide. If there is real buying taking place, the relative strength will show up.
