Jeff, a half apology.

Apparently S&P may be rebalancing the index after the close today. If a company replaces another company with a smaller market cap, then LU's relative weighting will indeed increase. This doesn't happen often, but it does every now and then. I imagine that CNBC might be speculating on new companies in the index and their impact on everyone else.

Sorry I put up a misleading post there.
