SW - I continue to really appreciate this great thread!

A suggestion:
I found it interesting to look at what each stock has done from the day it joined the index. You might want to post - every once in awhile - the original price, original date it joined the index, currant price and percentage change of each stock.
I have the original prices of the first batch, but I don't have the original prices of the newly added ones. It really gives a good perspective to see what has happened in one month or two, rather than just one day.
It strikes me from looking at gain/loss since the start of the index that it shows that Our Favorite Index HAS HAD SOME REALLY BIG WINNERS - it is just overall, that it is up 1.9% (due to some losers ).

It's a great index!

I think you need to adjust your index strategy. It is down 2.5% overall. Not very impressive. With the types of stocks you are playing, you need to get in and out of your positions faster.
Just a thought. Otherwise it is going to be hard to have a very positive index.
