Duel Flashback
Large-cap v. Small-cap Stocks

Bill Barker (TMF Max) and Warren Gump (TMF Gump) donned their caps to discuss caps last year. Are large-cap stocks superior to small-cap stocks? Does size matter?

Our Foolish Voters sided with the blue-chip-hugging Bill -- with twice as many votes as Warren's small-cap camp. Pitting the S&P 100 against the Russell 2000, or any other big vs. small gauge, would not be a perfect measure of ultimate success. So, this week, no W's. No L's.

Revisit our Biggie Smalls Duel.
