Hey, Who Stole My January Effect?

If you were counting on the January Effect to generate easy profits this year, you were sorely disappointed.  The January Effect showed up in full force this year... only it arrived one month early, stealing the benefit of the popular anecdotal "Effect." In general, the January Effect refers to the tendency (or expectancy) for Small Cap stocks - usually those that are part of the Russell 2000 Index - to outperform Large Cap stocks - usually those in the Dow Jones 30 or S&P 500 - on a relative basis during the month of January each year.
