MM; The Mo Mo effect does work both ways, ( up to a point ), but in down turns , there seems to be a point the Large cap funds start off-setting the indexers. I have not nailed where the point is yet. But roughly would say it's at about the 10% level, after about that much fall, then the thinner traded stocks get hit harder, CSCO took a 20% hit end of August, so that put her back at about market perform, she will likely track the over all S&P index for a while now, or if any thing out perform it. She is also privileged to be one of the top 4 in the NDX100, sitting in 3rd spot after MSFT and INTC, ARB players in the NDX options, are stuck with buying or selling MSFT , INTC, CSCO, & DELL and right now the call money ( if they don't want to lose it ) says they will be buying these four. The Put money is not near as strong. But being I have not tracked the NDX options all that long I don't want to say if this is bearish or bullish. They change so fast that they could spike them long enough to unwind the calls and then drop them like a rock Friday. ( I just don't know ) But this is triple witching coming up. Jim |
