The S&P 500's 11 percent bounce YTD was basically a January Effect on steroids with a Fed policy change adding gasoline to that fire," said Colas in a note to clients on Tuesday. Sometimes the"January Effect" is used to reference a jump in small cap stocks near the end of a year and into January, a theory popularized by the Stock Trader's Almanac. The iShares Russell 2000 ETF, a benchmark for small stocks, is up 13 percent this year, more than big caps.
