Does anyone know the dollar value the index funds have to sell of the sp futures to offset the difference in market caps of BR coming out of spx and goog going in..could be considerable pressure on sp futures
the index funds basically end up selling the other 499 names through basis trades with the sell side desks who actually sell the futures and then cross the index with the index funds..
Good news, google will be added to SP 500 as of March 31, that will help for more swings. I HOPE............
Gap and crap this morning... Now that the 'GOOG will be in the S&P rumor is no longer', it will have to deliver on earnings to sustain the high PE on the stock.

It will deliver but like MSFT or other good stocks. It would double its earning every quarter. No we see over reaction to the news.
Those of you who are following GOOG, extend old horizontal trendline from 10:50est on 3-7-06. Recent gap and support was right on that level. This method works on all indexes and it seems to work also for strange beast like GOOG .
I recommend selling GOOG at this point. It is overvalued, overbought and ...... The sellers and shorts will be rewarded soon. Check out my previous predictions on GOOG.
