| Ranking the "INDEX STOCKS"
|
| Index Stocks are those in which WERE YOU TO BUY one share, you would own a little bit of all the stocks in that category. These index stocks are traded on the AMEX. (The symbols' letters are widely spaced to eliminate the confusion conferred by all the W's, V's, M's and N's.) They can be found at www.amex.com/index under the heading of Most Active ETF's.) However, the main interest one ought to have is that these show directions and comparison of the markets - foreign and domestic!
