"You could say small cap value but you could also find within large cap, stocks that are relatively cheap. The S & P 500 , on track for a nearly 8% gain for October, was off 0.7%. But the small cap Russell 2000 and the S & P 600 small cap value were up slightly for the day. If the S & P 500 performs as it has on average, it could rise to 3,950, the analysts note. "My conviction is higher that [S & P 600] will outperform than it will go up in absolute terms," he said.

"Based on the combined inputs of the nominal 2-year and real 10-year, my best guess is that the S & P 500 is worth 14.3x fwd EPS. With the S & P closing at 3,693 Friday, that's about 8% lower. The big moves in the dollar are just killing emerging market funds. The largest, iShares Core Emerging Market ETF (IEMG), hit a better than 2-year low on Friday. And as the Dollar Index has risen roughly 4% this month alone, the emerging market ETFs have dropped too.

If those levels break, the S & P could touch 3,385 before the selling is over, he said.
