Ijr: Good Small-cap Index Etf, But Better Choices Out There (nysearca:ijr) | Seeking Alpha
In a recent article, I argued that the Russell 2000 (RTY) and other well-known, small-cap, equity indexes and funds have a problem: too many unprofitable companies dragging down returns.

The largest of these seems to be the iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF (NYSEARCA:IJR), which has outperformed the Russell 2000 and the S&P 500 (SP500) since inception and sports a cheap valuation to boot. Due to these issues, I thought to write a quick article on IJR.

Tweedy, Browne 2024 Client Letter
Through chances various, through all vicissitudes, we make our way... - The Aeneid by Virgil, circa 19 B.C.E As Virgil observed in his epic poem, we are all at the mercy of the unexpected, as we make our way. As investors, it is how we deal with the anxiety associated with the unanticipated that often determines our success. Investors who began the last twelve months thinking that the most aggressive interest rate increases of the last 15 years would continue to take a toll on public equity valuations, particularly longer duration technology shares, were in for quite a surprise.
