I just went through the Nasdaq site and I think I have enough info to get calculate the Index under my own prices. This is what makes it tough, compared to the Dow which is rather straight forward: Launched in January 1985, the Nasdaq-100 Index represents the largest and most active non-financial domestic and international issues listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market® based on market capitalization. The Nasdaq-100 Index is calculated under a modified capitalization weighted methodology. The methodology is expected to retain in general the economic attributes of capitalization weighting while providing enhanced diversification. To accomplish this, Nasdaq will review the composition of the Nasdaq-100 Index on a quarterly basis and will adjust the weightings of Index components using a proprietary algorithm if certain pre-established weight distribution requirements are not met.

speaking of "running the stops" can anyone direct me to a good article which would analyze how say AMZn probably fully utilized this as their key business strategy: ie creating a business that anyone with a hint of intelligence would love to short then using bucket shops in concert with "analysts' to run the stops?
