Hi Monty ; RE > My question is this. How does this happen when on 7/20/98 there were 10%-20% more of the stocks making up each Index below the 200 DMA!! :-))) OK The high set on 7/20/98 was more concentrated ( narrower ) in the Nifty Fifty...the money flowed into the very most liquid of stocks..Tahts why I came up with the MAGIC TEN..taking the 5 top in the SPX, with the 5 top in the Nazdaq 100, but no duplicates these 10 stocks as a group beat every index and the Nifty Fifty.

But it's here that was the main cause of the 7/20/ top. yet left some of the NF losing ground in respect to the % above the MA, I'll bet none of these were below the 200 MA at that time :-) After this correction I may need to re-do the Nifty Fifty, as well as this magic ten. They won't stay the same over time. Jim
