There is also another ETF... Blackrock iShares Russel 2000 ETF (symbol IWM).

Here is comparison. You can see all three are different, but the DWCPF index and Russell 2000 IWM ETF are pretty close. Vanguard also has an ETF that tracks it.

Thanks a lot DBA!!!

Your welcome! And I couldn't help myself...Here is comparison of DWCPF (S fund) plus TWO ETFs that track the Russell 2000, Blackrock's IWM and Vanguards VTWO. Curiosity...just had to see how close they track. Only DWCPF is different. The two ETFs are on top of each other. I tried to compare RUT as well but no data shown??? In any case, those ETFs track DWCPF very closely!

With the COVID pandemic I expected the market to go down in general. (Missed it in March maybe?) It sure seems like Wall Street is disconnected from Main Street and I keep looking for an explanation when I ran across the article below which is only partially helpful. COVID isn't going away soon so I'm still waiting for the 'crash'.

The market seems to have a mind of it's own so am clueless how this news will be received. FWIW:

IMHO the 'crash' is coming and it's only a matter of when. COVID has done so much damage both in human misery and to the economy it seems almost inevitable that a day of reckoning is coming. Don't have a clue when but IMHO it's coming.
