Some say mid-caps are the sweet spot of the stock market. (Especially if they happen to be marketing mid-cap funds.) They say that you have more-professional management and less volatility than small caps yet greater room to grow than large caps. It's something of a sweet spot for mutual funds, too, as you'll find some outstanding managers there.
