Yahoo now has a market capitalization double that of General Motors. The big news? There wasn't any. It was just the latest -- and greatest -- example of the S&P Effect, or the jump that stocks take when they are about to be added to the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index.

looks like on dec 8th the price of yahoo settled post split to 160, and its now under 60. so, yahoo has severely underperformed the s and p since its been added, correct ? why then do people buy index funds, aren't they buying a bunch of has beens ? wasn't the time to be SELLING yahoo right when the s and p put yahoo IN ? (but it was a great investment up till its inclusion in the s and p) this is why i think there may some spectacular winners in tech yet i still think the nas is going to 600. too many has beens...
