What I worry about is that I would expect the indices with less stocks (the Dow and NASDAQ) to perform in line with or somewhat worse than the indices with many stocks (S&P 500 or Wilshire 5000); when the opposite happens, I get concerned it's not all that healthy a market... - Ryan http://uncommon-cents.net/ Not the greatest market year, but the major indices were all positive.
