Folks,

There's something unusual about this S&P500 reweighting:

a) why are there so many gold mining stocks, even if they are non-US stocks being dropped at the same time;

b) why did Merrill Lynch include INCO in its Focus List as recently as June 26th, and perhaps most interestingly,

c) why the big hurry, to do this reweighting on July 19th, the same day of the expiration of the July options....I feel this is no coincidence, btw...

Very suspicious, esp when so many hedge funds are involved on the S&P500 index as well as both the incoming as well as outgoing indexes.

I do not understand the choice of the stocks being let in either....e.g. ERTS, has anyone made any money on this stock.....

All very baffling to the uninitated...
