XLK - A Technology Index That Trades Like A Stock

Anyone know where can I find more info about this? I checked AMEX.com but couldn't find anything. I like to find more about this and similar indicies...

Thanks,

Thanks for the input on XLK. This will be interesting since I think it is a play on "sector" volatility versus company, sector, and market risk. It will be interesting to see how BB and RSI react to only sector risk.

Based on my experience of playing with DJX spreads last year, I think there can be some very large intra-day swings were a BB will be hit and a fast movement in the opposite direction that is had to trade

I did not use the formal WINS approach with DJX just the "let the trend be your friend" rule of thumb. I made a small profit, but felt I missed out on some intra-day opportunities.

Anyway, I am going to give this a close look. I would be interested in other opinions.

Sure looks good on XLK ,especially the one dollar increments.
We've owned BLS a while,written calls (should expired worthless next
Friday )but I have never seen such narrow bands as displayed on the BLS chart.This stock used to move several points each day;now it hardly moves. IS it getting ready to break out...however which way?
Thanks about the XLK
