It appears that small cap has absolutely dominated the last few years. What do you believe will dominate the next few years?
 
believe it or not Historically Small cap value dominates...but i think goin forward the inefficiences of investing and evaluationg the foreign markets as well as foreigners beginning to invest in threir own counties start to take placea on a more accepted level and those markets far outpace as they have so many years of "catching up"

Are you absolutely certain that the small cap value is historically the best? I didnt really drill down into the data, but I use www.russell.com calculator to get different views of the market. You can use the calculator to go mtd, qtd, ytd, 1-11 years out.

According to their 11 year outlook, it appears that Mid-Cap Value seems the most aggressive. In all cases, value does seem to outpace growth stocks.

As well, looking at the S&P indexes, it does appear that mid-cap value has dominated the last 10 years.
