## Resource

The big things you need to know: First, we review our stance on Small Caps. We had a little more love for them coming into Valentine’s Day weekend due to better fundamentals, but still see challenges that raise the bar for further outperformance (less appealing positioning and valuations, plus continued linkage to evolving views on the Fed). Second, other things that jump out include more evidence of a tough reporting season, the slide in sentiment on the AAII survey which is not signaling oversold conditions yet, and thoughts on why we’re not intrigued with the Tech sector yet from a generalist perspective. Programming note: The podcast will be on break next week and resume later this month.
