Ah Haaa..you just said what I've been trying to say
about the way indexes are window dressed to make
the mullets believe the market is better than it is.
----------

I started trading the QQQ not so much because of
a belief in it's dominance, but because of it's
volatility. ( I get volatility but with enough
diversity that makes it's safer for a little guy to
play ( flip ).
If I tried flipping stocks a really
bad set back on a trade could put me out of the game.
The QQQ even if it fools me it won't turn into
a disaster before I can get out.
---------------

Back to the DOW thingy..if it keeps getting techy
it could get more volatile too.
In the article they speculate about EK or T getting
the boot. I can solve that for them as for sure
T will get kicked out ( maybe EK too ) but T will
have to go because of her break up. ( there won't
be enough of any one part of her left to make a
good DOW component.

. But you gotta give em credit for trying to keep the chart of the DOW in shape to show our children, grandchildren and WWE that if they had bought the DOW is year X look at how much money they would have made.

Question,does one use acronyms when he is fearful of using the words they represent or is it because his IQ and age have become one in the same number?
