This index could soar +69% based on history

[RiskHedge Roundup] Is the bear market in microcaps drawing to a close? The Russell Microcap Index (RUMIC), which tracks a basket of microcap stocks, has been in a bear market for seven months. It’s fallen 35% since late last year. But recently, RUMIC’s been perking up... gaining as much as 11.5% over the past three weeks. RiskHedge’s microcap expert Chris Wood wants everyone to take note of this table, which charts every microcap bear market since 2009. The three columns on the right state the returns of the index 6 months, 12 months, and 3 years after they bottomed. Two big takeaways: - The current bear market in microcaps has lasted seven months... just under the historical average. - Every time the bear market ended, big gains followed. On average, microcaps gained 43% in six months, 69% after 12 months, and a whopping 90% after three years. Chris Wood says today is a great buying opportunity: Microcaps are historically cheap. And history shows that when they get this cheap, they tend to snap back fast. So, we’re positioned to profit in my Project 5X advisory from the coming snapback. Chris would know, because he’s been through this before. The most extreme example: After he recommended tiny microcap Kopin (KOPN) in 2019, it dropped -84% during the COVID crash. While everyone was panicking, Chris urged his readers to stay the course. Within 11 months, he closed out the trade for a 399% gain. The lesson? Stick to your plan. You can’t control markets, but you can control the type of stocks you own. When you own high-quality companies that are executing well, it’s usually best to ignore market gyrations and ride out the storm.
