Indices Rebalancing This Week

This week's there will be re-balancing in indices. The S&P 500 re-balancing will affect a few major tickers. Companies like Microsoft, General Electric Berkshire Facebook and Google are likely to benefit. Others like Apple Intel Home Depot Yahoo and Caterpillar are likely to to be at a disadvantage.
There are also changes in sectors: Health Care and Utilities likely to see gains (so careful with your shorts). IT and consumer discretionary are likely to suffer.

The re-weighting in the NASDAQ 100 will affect Expedia FFIV Lam research and others so be careful.

These Re-weightings and the fact that this Friday is quadruple witching Friday make for a volatile end of the week. I don't take chances with open trades. I close cheap risk.
