Dr.Zax,

It is my understanding that index fund managers adjust their respective funds based on the money inflows for a given quarter.When they buy stocks it is based on the company's market cap.. That is...the higher the market cap, the more they will allocate to that stock. Someone correct me if I am wrong but I think that is the general idea.

Regards,
Tom

PS. With respect to AOL I know that in the past it has been added at the end of the quarter...not timed
