No. Why would I be frustrated?

I would never invest heavily in a micro and expect it to make anything. Micros are losses as soon as I purchase them. I have been lucky and hit on a few to cover any losses I have had on them but your chances are not good.

If you are not getting a good balance of stocks in your portfolio I could see where you might be frustrated. My outlook as always been to balance out my risks and depend on other stocks to carry my risky investments.

I own SLE it's ranged from 20-25. I own PG and it's ranged from 50-57. MSft has been from 24-30. All of which are down from my last allocation period (ex. PG 54.80 now 53.25 after a few days recovery).

The market is very fluid in any class of stock. All of the same outside factors effect Micros-Large Caps. The price of oil, interest rates, unemployement figures, etc. The differnce between a large cap and micro is simply how early the people are going to move the money they invest into other investments.

As an example last year I converted another 10% of my investments into gold and other precious metals versus stock.
You have to consider the fact that the entire market COULD be in a bad situation soon with interst rates, oil, etc.
