I decided to backtest this to the beginning of 1997 to provide a baseline going forward. Obviously the results are no surprise to anyone who has been following the development of FC. These results indicate just how early we have been to the party, and what the associated costs have been. Remember this is a very small sample and should become more robust as the market develops and more meaningful as more companies are added to the groups and more groups are identified. I will try to update weekly and have it up on SI by Saturday, unless the FC market tanks and the mood gets ugly <g> or until i lose my data, whichever occurs first. Ray of Hope: Positive divergence of the Switch Group [ANCR] for the week. Regards, Neil
