[$$] Midcap Stocks Try to Shed the ‘Orphaned Index’ Label
Wall Street’s wild ride has shined a light on a segment of the stock market that is often forgotten: midcap stocks. Considered less risky than their small-cap counterparts, midcaps—which typically have a market capitalization between $2 billion and $10 billion—are now less expensive than smaller and larger peers after the stock market’s punishing fourth-quarter selloff. “Midcaps are the orphaned index,” said Mark Fried, president of TFG Wealth Management, which has $100 million in assets under management.

Here's the real reason why stocks popped on China trade reports: Cramer
U.S. investors seem to be willing to accept a bad trade deal with China if it means getting back to "business as usual," says CNBC's Jim Cramer.
