The DOT - - - "The DOW for the 21st century?"

The DOT is equally dollar-weighted. This means several things to investors in the stocks that make up the DOT:

1. Lower priced stocks in the DOT (OMKT, SDTI, EGGS) have to be bought in a greater quantity than higher priced stocks (YHOO,AMZN) by any institutions which may set-up mutual funds or baskets of stocks that seek to track the DOT. This could help these stocks.

2. All stocks in the DOT should begin to experience greater daily volume, greater put & call premiums, and greater volatility than those internet stocks not in the DOT.

3. There may be a move to add 10 more internet stocks to the DOT so that it has the same number of stocks as the DOW. The DOT may become "The DOW for the 21st century".
