You're welcome. Good luck with the options trade. I just looked in the dictionary because I thought bellweather was wrong but I had no idea what on earth a bellwether is - it's the sheep around whose neck a bell is hung and which leads the flock. Fancy that - I learn something every day. Our sheep don't use them!

Swiss cows do - but I don't know that they are bellwethers because they seemed to stand around by themselves mostly, wondering what to do next, while chewing their cud.

If you are investing in 'tech bellweathers' you better be careful you aren't following the wrong sheep. Some of them go to what is euphemistically called an abattoir. Yahoo! looks like a Bellwether stock of the abattoir type.
