Sonny Blue, thanks for the DOT cap info. Too bad CSCO is in the group, kind of screw up the speculative nature of the index. On the other hand, new comers like PCLN and VERT are not in there. As for MSFT, I think they have 5,050 million shares. At around 84, that is a market cap of about $425 billion. That in itself is almost as ridiculous as the DOT stocks, considering MSFT's REVENUE is less than $20 billion. Then again, $20 billion would be more than what most of these .com companies would ever see in a million years. Ramsey

Sonny, Thanks, $460 Billion is huge. I just checked and thats about equal to the bottom 13 of the DOW 30 stocks. (ALD,AXP,BA,CAT,CHV,DIS,EK,GM,GT,IP,JPM,UK,UTX =458 BILLION). Keep in mind that we the DOT.X does not include the hardware guys and other sectors of the internet, like CSCO, and even a portion of MSFT, and components of the IIX.X(INTERNET INDEX), not in the DOT.X. If we included all parts of the INTERNET I believe it would be over 1 TRILLION. The DOT.X by itself with 460 BILLION is one of the largest sector indexes. seeya
