Big and Small Stocks, in Opposite Directions

On the big board, it was a rough day in the stock market yesterday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed down 0.2 percent, recording its seventh straight daily loss.

There's much better news down among the smaller stocks. The Russell 2000 Small Cap index made it four positive days in a row yesterday. In the process, it also set an all-time high.

But there are rumblings that the small-cap rally may have run its course. Investors have yanked more than $1 billion from the bellwether iShares Russell 2000 Exchange-Traded Fund since June 11, after pouring money into it for much of this year.
