Well Lizzie, what the entire tech industry is going to regret is letting the government camels nose under the tent. :-) "Msft is a huge part of the naz and dow too, and that is unfortunate" Now as to this. I am sure that they will do as Jim suggested and put one in to dress up the indices if MSFT does not straighten up. Hell, they want to be able to show our children and grand children that it is never too late to buy. The crooks on wallstreet can't do that with (for the most part) any one CONSTANT basket of stocks. They have to keep shuffling them to dress the chart and stats up for future generations. :-) Monty

Msft is only 5.5% of the Nasdaq 100 and only a 55 dollar stock out of 1900-2000 points of Dow stocks. In any event, being weighted indices, if any stock moves up the ranks it automatically picks up a proportionately larger share of any new dollars invested in the index.
