GD, If they just do routine changes, then there is no big deal except for selling and buying in the additions/deletions. There was an older story from another broker (i think) that speculated that banks and consumer stocks could be added as part of a bigger change to the Nasdaq100. If that happens, it could make for a volatile QQQ. If the larger scale change takes place, that is what could trigger selling in the NDX itself; to make up for the higher market cap additions there has to be selling of the Nasdaq big caps to make room. The weighting of existing Nasdaq names such as MSFT, INTC, CSCO etc.. have to decrease. That is what would make this adjustment different from others we have seen in the past few years. I bet they are aware of this too..and will probably stick to smaller scale changes. Just speculating. btw---Of course even with opening up the NDX to bank additions, they could easily assign a lower weighting to them; Naz100 is not purely market cap weighted.
