Excerpt from TheStreet.com article.... When the Nasdaq 100 was rebalanced last December, the aggregate weight of the five largest stocks in it was scaled down to 40% from about 60%. Other components' weightings were raised in turn. The idea behind this, according to the Nasdaq Stock Market, was to "provide enhanced diversification of the underlying securities basket and result in a better representation" of the Nasdaq as a whole. And so it did. Market movement over the past year, however, has seriously skewed the index. Some of the big stocks stalled out, while some smaller stocks saw significant gains. An obvious example is Qualcomm (QCOM:Nasdaq), whose gain of around 1,300% since the rebalancing has made it the fourth-largest component in the index. Problem is, on a market-capitalization basis, it only rings in at ninth. MCI WorldCom (WCOM:Nasdaq), the No. 5 stock in the index, has a market cap that's nearly 3 times as high. thestreet.com
