Being much less dominated by miners, the FTSE 250 index has romped ahead of the FTSE 100 since the latter's major low of March 2009, says Warren Firth at www.globalprimepartners.com.au.
It has recently reached within 1.6 per cent of its all-time highs, whereas its large-cap peer remains far below its pinnacle. Buy on a fall to 11920, targeting 13372. For longer-term investors 14304.
