Meanwhile, scores of smaller stocks are "excruciatingly undervalued," as Prudential Securities analyst Claudia Mott puts it. The Russell 2000 small-stock index is down 16% in 12 months. Yet many small stocks have growth rates that exceed their earnings multiples, and the group tends to do best when the U.S. economy is strong and foreign economies are weak, as now. And small companies are ripe for a wave of premium-priced takeovers by big companies using their stratospheric stock prices as currency. Some foreign markets also look attractive.

RESTAURANTS: Big Wong's, 67 Mott Street, between Bayard and Canal Streets (964-0540): The name means big prosperity, though that's the last thing you'd expect this Chinatown eatery to be called.

Mott Street is, in other words, a place you might envision as fashion's capital of spartan black. On a northern tip, though, sits a tiny 1 1/2-year-old shop named Calypso, where, on any given weekend, stylish young shoppers slither past one another to get at a collection of near-sheer pastel sweaters, lacy skirts, candy-colored coats...
