In the first half of the 1990s, small caps ruled the market. In the second half, large caps basked in glory.
Pundits often ponder that question.
Yet as an individual investor, your success doesn't hinge so much on what size of stock you choose. A company's growth pace, the industry it's in and the timing of your buying and selling are more important. Cycles of performance in large and small caps do exist. Then the tables turned. These cycles matter more to institutions with millions or billions of dollars to invest.
