I know what you mean. I am speaking about the skewed weighting of MSFT on the Nasdaq 100 Index. With MSFT, every $1 move in the stock is equal to 3.06 points in the index. As such, with MSFT up +4, and don't forget the "coat tail effect" of the other techs, the index would be called to open AT LEAST 12.00 higher and you could have bought the futures just 9.00 higher. 8:30am the next morning, sure enough the pit opened up almost 30.00 points higher. I was not speaking of trading the stock outright, just the skewed futures. txx
