| Offboard | could smb explain the answer to me? |
| arudkov | i was thinking SMB is extra return on small-cap shares compared with index or chips. |
| cfaajay | Fama-French model says that small cap will give higher return then large cap ,so short sell large cap and invest in small cap ,and earn the profit... |
| shajidubai | Small -(minus) Big implies short big and long small |
