### Comment:
That depends on how the total market index holdings are weighted, how much small caps gain in aggregate, and how much large caps decline in aggregate. I don't believe you'll realize the same (or even close to the same) benefit being invested in a total market index vs specifically target individual stocks if his hypothesis pans out.

### REPLY:
Long term it’s just not worth picking and choosing individual small caps. Just invest in a small to mid cap index that has low exposure to the SP500

### END.
