Don, here is the link to the Russell site. It explains balancing and has a list of component stocks. russell.com Balancing occurs annually in May using a formula based on market cap. Interestingly, the market cap is based on "available" shares (float) so a lot of stocks with large market caps and small float (eg. Doublclick, Metromedia, EGRP) are nonetheless in the RUT: quote.yahoo.com Consider this, most of the run up in these types of stocks has been since the last adjustment. If these stocks stay in the RUT through the next re-balancing and their ranking is increased the performance of the RUT would increase dramatically wouldn't it? Regards, Ken.
