 Today's Barchart Chart of the Day is a little different. Instead of finding a stock with the best upward price appreciation, I thought it might be time to revisit the old saying that "In the long run Small Caps outperform Large Caps". When I began investing almost almost every broker would pull out a charts prepared by Ibbotson that showed that since the Great Depression Small Caps always out performed Large Caps and every broker repeated that like it was proven fact. I decided to see if that dogma was still true. I decided to compare the returns of the S&P 500 Large Cap ETF (NYSEARCA:IVV), the S&P 400 Mid Cap ETF (NYSEARCA:IJH), the S&P 600 Small Cap ETF (NYSEARCA:IJR) and the Micro Cap ETF (NYSEARCA:IWC) from the most recent Market bottom at 3/23 till today and the dogma still seems to hold true. 
As you can see over that period the IVV returned 60.22% while the IJH returned 73.29%, the IJR 66.89% and the IWC returned 75.45%. Additional information: S&P 500 ETF (IVV) - 100% technical buy signals
