SPONSORED This Jaw-Dropping Interview From the Corona Crash... Reveals the Biggest Secret in Stocks These three stocks didn't just survive... they thrived. Now they're on pace to hand investors the BIGGEST windfall of the decade. America's No. 1 Tech Expert reveals the best buying opportunity of 2020 in this candid interview. Editor's Note: Through his latest research into the Russell 2000 Index, Contributing Analyst Jody Chudley makes one fact abundantly clear: Big things come in small packages. Alexander Green, Chief Investment Strategist at our sister e-letter Liberty Through Wealth, knows this fact all too well... Alex is showing his readers the chance to score as much as a triple-digit gain every month... And it all starts with his "#1 Microcap for 2020." Click here to learn how some of the market's smallest companies could score your biggest gains. - Mable Buchanan, Assistant Managing Editor MARKET TRENDS The ONE Index You Need to Track Jody Chudley, Contributing Analyst, The Oxford Club Here are two facts that don't seem to go together... Fact No. 1: The number of small cap companies in the Russell 2000 stock index that are currently losing money is near a record high. Fact No. 2: Now is a great time to buy the Russell 2000 stock index. It seems like madness, but I believe it's true. The Russell 2000 is a widely followed benchmark of small cap stocks that can be owned via popular exchange-traded funds (ETFs), like the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE: IWM) or the Vanguard Russell 2000 ETF (Nasdaq: VTWO). The Russell 2000 Index is an important barometer of the American economy because it tracks the performance of smaller, domestically focused businesses. Unlike blue chips, companies in the Russell 2000 don't do business in dozens of countries. They do business in the United States. The median market valuation of a Russell 2000 company is less than $500 million. That is a tiny number relative to the S&P 500 companies that have market valuations into the hundreds of billions, with the biggest now sitting at more than $1 trillion! The chart below shows the percentage of companies in the Russell 2000 that are losing money... The percentage of nonearners in the Russell 2000 is now pushing up above 40%, which is close to the highest level we have seen in three decades and second only to the level reached in the 2009 global financial crisis. The four gray-shaded bars on the chart represent the four recessions that the American economy has experienced since 1990. The most recent of those recessions kicked off earlier this year with the outbreak of COVID-19 in the U.S. Not surprisingly, all of the prior peaks in the percentage of nonearning Russell 2000 companies coincided with recessions in the American economy... All of which were great times to be a buyer of the Russell 2000.

Nobody Said Being Contrarian Was Easy! The Russell 2000 is loaded with small companies that have developing growth stories. The index will always have more companies that have yet to reach profitability than the blue chip indexes. It will also always be the source of the next big stock market winners. Historically, when the number of companies losing money in the Russell 2000 surges during recessions, it has been a clear signal to buy the index. You wouldn't think that losing money should be a signal to buy, but for the Russell 2000, it has been. Some of the greatest stock market investors are contrarian for a reason... because it works! Here is how the Russell 2000 has performed relative to the S&P 500 in the five years following each of the prior recessions... "Buy when there is blood in the streets," indeed... On average, a $10,000 investment into the Russell 2000 at the peak of companies in the index losing money would have turned into $28,637 over the next five years. That means investors would've nearly tripled their money. Over these three periods, the Russell 2000 trounced the blue chip S&P 500, outperforming by 62.91%. On April 14, I told you that the Russell 2000 had entered table-pounding buying territory. At that point, the Russell 2000 was down slightly over the past five-year period. In the rare instances that has happened before, the Russell 2000 has performed extraordinarily well in the years following. Since April 14, the Russell 2000 has almost doubled the performance of the S&P 500. I still expect the Russell 2000 to outperform over the next several years from current levels, though I wouldn't be surprised if we saw another major pullback. In fact, I'd welcome it... A pullback would be an opportunity to buy the Russell 2000 at even better prices in advance of what should be another long rally. Good investing, Jody P.S. There's no doubt about it - if you're looking for value in today's market, it pays big to think small. So while a Russell 2000 ETF can offer long-term outperformance, if you're interested in gains as high as 100%, think even smaller...
