NDX components

As you can see, a 1.3% drop in AAPL drops the NDX more than...

3% drop in QCOM
7% drop in GRMN (equivalent would be 14% drop in GRMN)
2% drop in RIMM (equivalent would be 5% drop in RIMM)

Why even have an NDX? Just buy or sell AAPL. Someone better put out a multi-billion dollar life insurance policy on Steve Jobs because if he ever got cancer or in a car accident, billion dollars in market cap of the NDX would disappear overnight.

AAPL set a ST double top @ 190 yesterday, should fill gap after a "hicup"
