ynot:" whatnot "by the way is there an url specific to SPU SPZ education ? Subject 8128 have you looked at QQQ:SPU futures and SPY, ~SPX.X cash index = tous la meme chose . FWIW I keep a chart of SPY+ NDX, called "SPYNDX "...geocities.com scaled in such a way that the values for SPY and QQQ were each made equal to "50" at the beginning of 1999; thus, their sum = "100", and a value of ~121.5 on CLOSE last Friday means that your "SPYNDX" portfolio has gained 121.5 minus 100 = ~21.5% YTD.specific risk but, has the effect of double-weighting any stock that exists in both the NDX-100 and S&P-500 index; Thus, most of the large-cap TechStocks in NDX-100 are double weighted - meaning that SPYNDX = "BigEasy" portfolio assumes TechStock sector risk .lot ) more risk. But it can be done...oyster SPY - spyder but, there exist index funds that are OEX-100 - based, which could be used. This construct performs a little better - by assuming not only TechStock sector risk but also LargeCap sector risk .GE + CSCO . By assuming specific risk , this portfolio has a greater reward but, it is a lot more volatile - as well as vulnerable - than pure SPX+NDX or OEX+NDX index-based constructs. But GE+CSCO has out-performed OEX+NDX has out-performed SPX+NDX over the last five years, fwiw.estate consisting of ~$650,000. invested in bonds with an annual yield of ~7.5% which is the same thing as generating $4,000. every month available for investment in "BigEasy". It turns out that simple, periodic monthly investing of ~$4,000. into "BigEasy" = SPX+NDX works best when done in the (middle of the) third week of every month , fwiw.
