Hi Bonnie; Re> Jim: food for thought
number of stocks by market cap
1 billion or more- 1,550
500m- 1B- 845
300-500m- 753
5 mil-300mil- 6400
It's a little lopsided, isn't it?
Pension plans like large cap stocks so they have "liquidity"
----------------------------------------
I break my paper portfolios up cap wise much dif than the above.
That 1 billion or more leaves a lot of money comingled.
With aprox $11,000 in each grope weighted by market cap.
1 to 10 B IS hot cap wise just above the small cap range.
1 to 10 B gain $2000
10 to 50B gain $1650
50 to 100B gain $1350
100 up gain $1180
----------------------------
a radom group from 100m to 1B the gains were like only $ 650
and were by far the poorest.
-------------------------
Mico caps under 100M were the very hotest, gain $2400..
but also had the most volitility.
-------------------------
These gains were from DEC 5th which is when I last weighted
this bunch.
--------------------------
Prior to DEC 5th from OCT 27th they were all down but ONE..
during the mini bear market OCT to JAN 12..the MEGA caps
over 100B actually made money as every thing else was going
down..if one had weighted in them they would have done ok,
then in jan switched to the 1 to 10 B ...
-----------------------
Thing with the numbers of issues, as you put them
just "2" companies on the top of that 1500 could swollow up
all 753 of thoes 300-500M, and if you took the ten top caps
in the DOW they could eat that 753 and not even hicup.
---------------------
And while they might be 1,500 over 1B
to 6,400 5-300M ..just the top 20% of that 1,500..
ie the top 30 stocks cap wise could eat every one of the bottom
6,400..
---------------------------
Something to thing about. :-)
-----------------
Man I hate this new 10-20-30 circuit breaker..
5-10-15 would have been plenty..the SEC just gave the big
gorillas with their program trading a free hand to
commite genocide at their leasure on the working man
and his savings.
Their arugments don't hold water..and are only looking at one
side of the coin. Not only did we not have the kind of program
trading back then that we do now..10% represnts much more
capitol than it did..much much more..no matter what, if you
move 20% of the capitol no individual will get to a broker
you wont sell, short or cover shorts nothing as they won't answer the damm phones..only the big gorillas will be trading.
In effect they locked you and me out on a big fall..and let
the program trading take over..come the 15th stocks will be
much more risk prone for the small investor..and you better
learn to go with a mutual fund , a big one at that.
---------------------------
The new triggers just increased the ablity of the big ones to
eat the little ones..it's criminal in nature.
Standing on the original intent argument is pure sham...
if they want to use that argument then we should get rid
of income tax ...as the origial intent was to never have
a personal tax. How dare they present such a stupid argument,
as if we are all ignorant little morons.

criminals.
