Tom I love those Charts, Thanks..However as Much as I love them I'm still puzzled as to the why the equal weighted have been doing so much better than the cap weighted. -- There is something Phoney about the market when this happens in an up market and it's been Phoney for some time. By rights all the index funds to track an up market should be having to buy more and more of the larger caps.. Which is what was going on before the 2001 fall. I can think of several reasons this might happen but I can't put my finger on any one of them, more than likely it's a combination of most of the likely suspects. With Hedge funds at the heart of it. No matter what all it is , I don't think it healthy over the long term, as it has to be bleeding capital out of the market while at the same time using several forms of leverage to move the market higher. However just tracking and knowing the same group of stocks are doing better NON weighted than weighted could be useful , Like short the weighted ETF and go long the Non weighted one..Thats a lot of leverage with out interest if you use the short money to buy the long money and ride the tide.
