Trying to figure out how many shares the index funds will buy after EDS is part of the S&P 500. Does this example seem right? The Vanguard S&P500 index fund (VFINX) has 49 billion dollars in assets and is the largest. I figure that with EDS capitalized at 18 billion dollars they will constitute approximately .22% of the weighted average of the S&P500. If that is true then Vanguard must purchase $107,000,000 worth of EDS stock or about 2.9 million shares. All the other index funds will have to rebalance as well. Can anyone verify this? Does anyone know how long the funds will have to rebalance themselves? This could be a big boost to the stock. Dan
