		The amount of shares available on the open market, the "free float", is sometimes less than the total number of shares because a portion of the outstanding shares may be held by "insiders," and/or by the company as treasury stock.

	Market Observations
		Although moving back toward large cap exposure may indeed still be quite appropriate posturing for "tomorrow" for all we know, it so far hasn’t been the case in 2006.
		Moreover, at least historically, small caps have not been a great sector to own when the general level of domestic interest rates is rising and when corporate profits peak on a rate of change basis, as we believe is now in the process of occurring.
		We think there’s another very meaningful factor of the moment that may indeed be extending the current small cap cycle, or at least keeping the large caps from acting a bit better, despite many of these companies really being global mutual funds in single stock sheep’s clothing, so to speak.
