Small-cap stocks are quietly outperforming, and the run may continue — for now
The S&P 500 is up 0.5 percent and the Dow is down 0.5 percent since the start of 2018, but the Russell 2000 has risen 2.3 percent. Furthermore, the S&P 500 is still more than 6 percent off its record high, while the Russell 2000 is less than 3 percent from its all-time high. The U.S.-centric case really rests on the U.S. economy picking up pace from 2.5 percent to perhaps 3 percent growth, and so far, you don't really see that in the data," Schlossberg said, specifically pointing to tepid growth across ISM measures and smaller surveys of growth, like the Empire State Manufacturing Survey.

Cryptocurrency Stock LongFin Halted, as SEC Charges Fraud
In a fraud complaint unsealed today, the Securities and Exchange Commission asked a federal judge in Manhattan to freeze $27 million that the agency says are proceeds from illegal sales of shares in LongFin (LFIN), a company whose December initial offering was a supposed success story for the shortcut "mini-IPO" rules known as Reg A+. The Nasdaq-listed stock shot from 5 bucks to 142 in its first three days of trading, after LongFin said it was acquiring a purported cryptocurrency business from LongFin's chief executive Venkata Meenavalli. Following today's unsealing of the SEC's April 4 complaint, Nasdaq halted LongFin shares, which had risen almost 50% today to $28.19.
