Let it not be said that the Piffer OT thread doesn't have a few really market savvy participants. We may seem frivolous to the outside world, but occasionally we get some real gems. Thanks Antdood.

~~~~~in other words if a certain 50 stocks fluctuate 99.7% as accurately as the entire 500, they
might only do the 50 to reduce on their transaction costs and market risk. however, in their own proprietary model, they may require a slightly different
level to fire off their program since their transaction costs etc. are different.~~~~~

excellent point, I think that many program trades winnow it down to 20 to 25 stocks.
