John; Message 5304722 is the magic 10, the top five are from the nazdaq 100 which is a real freak as those top 5 make up 50% of that index !! 5 to 95 ratio aahhh for half the move in the index The Nifty Fifty are just the 50 top in the S&P 500 I break them into two parts, ( total makes up over 50% of the S&P 500) Over time the 2nd 25 seem to out do the first 25 ( as a group ) I also run the TOP 15 in the S&P 100 , as they make up half of that index. The interesting thing is to note is when any of these groups outrun or drop behind the index they are in. Thats the divergence / convergence factor , or liquid / foam separator. You can find more at advisorinsight.com I try to weight them percentage wise like the indexes have them but ball park will do as long as you don't get to far off. Jim
