Small Cap Value Report (Fri 15 Mar 2019) - IRV, BOO, RTN

Good evening/morning, it's Paul here with the usual placeholder.
I'm hoping that there won't be much news, as I have to go into the City for a lunch.

The way things are panning out with the Brexit shambles/deception, I think it's becoming pretty clear that it's likely to be deferred, perhaps indefinitely. Therefore, I'm starting to think we might see some confidence begin to return to small caps. For that reason, I'm building up a shopping list of irrationally over-sold small caps, with a view to pouncing, once buyers begin to return.
I think we might begin to see some nice uplifts, on positive newsflow from now on, as buyers return.
Offset against that, I'm worried that open-ended small caps funds might be suffering redemptions, and hence need to sell stuff even if they don't want to. Having been through several bear markets before, I've seen how funds tend to sell whatever they can, rather than what they want to sell.
Another quandary, is whether to hold on to highly-rated small caps which have avoided the sell-off so far? Or whether to ditch them, on the basis that in line results probably won't deliver any further upside, but even a slight disappointment could trigger...
