Where are Large Caps in this rally?

As a rule of thumb Large Caps do not do as well as Mid Caps and Small Caps in a good market uptrend.  Large Caps tend to do better near or at market tops and in bear markets.  This is the flight to quality.  Why?  Because Small Cap stocks are generally more risky than Large Cap stocks.  
Before the Election, the Dow30 stocks were doing better than the Mid Cap and Small Cap stocks.   But as you can see from the above chart the Small Caps and Mid Caps are doing better than the Large Cap stocks.
Also the Advance Decline Line has been making new highs and the DJT & DJIA are on a Dow Theory buy because they both have been making new highs.
History tells us that negative divergences in the stock market indexes and the Advance Decline Line usually occurs a few months before a top is in place.  In addition, the Dow30 stocks will tend to perform better than the Small and Mid Cap stocks too at that time.
