This Thread is for the Nasdaq100 only. It will focus on the New AMEX Spider that should start trading mid March. I will not pick, and hope others don't pick individual stocks to buy/sell or short, so we can specialize on the basket. However the individual stocks in the Nazdaq100 will be discussed in the context of how they effect the basket as a whole. An example is the weighting below the 10 stocks make up 50% of the index, and the first 5 are the real heavy hitters as they make up 40%. SYM WHT% TOT % msft 14.72 14.72% intc 8.81 23.53% wcom 6.39 29.92% csco 6.38 36.30% dell 4.58 40.88% orcl 2.42 43.30% sunw 1.83 45.13% amgn 1.72 46.85% tcoma 1.67 48.52% amat 1.48 50.00% ----------------------- I picture myself as a Strategist more than say an FA, or TA person. Remember Nasdaq100 only, please. TA and or FA on the heavy hitters is welcome as long as we can place it in context of how it will move the N100 index. Jim |
