Actually it doesn't sit on Wall St. It sits right in front of Bowling Green Park on Broadway.

If you are attempting to see how well you do, in some thoretical stock-picking game, I would suggest that you use some other sort of weighting. By doing it the way that you are doing it, if AAPL (70B market cap, share price 82) goes up 10%, your index goes up far more than if MSFT goes up 10% (280B market cap, share price 26). You may have wished to put greater emphasis on AAPL, but you should do that by buying varied numbers of shares, NOT by relying on the stock price.

Second, modern portfolio theory suggests that the benefits of diversification are generally realized with only 30 stocks. By using only 30 stocks (as the Dow Jones does), each stock comprising the index makes a larger contribution to the overall performance of the index. Accordingly, good picks (or bad picks) won't get diluted as much by the other stocks in the index.

The above two points are intended to maximize the impact of each pick chosen by Engadget. Only the best of the best gain entry into the index (30 vs. 50), and the contribution of each pick is equally important to the performance of the overall index (equal weighting instead of price weighting).

Great idea though! I'll keep track of your progress to see if your foresight into all things electronic really translates into market outperformance!

Speaking of market outperformance, please don't compare your index to the S&P 500. Instead, use a sub-index comprised of all technology stocks in the S&P 500, which will more closely match the "market index" for companies of this type. ]]>Oct 26th 2006 3:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/26/the-engadget-index/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/26/the-engadget-index/Oct 26th 2006 9:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/26/the-engadget-index/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/26/the-engadget-index/Lots and lots and lots of chips come from there.]]>Oct 26th 2006 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/26/the-engadget-index/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/26/the-engadget-index/Oct 26th 2006 1:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/26/the-engadget-index/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/26/the-engadget-index/
I understand about the idea of a gadget fund, but excluding GOOG.... you must not care about performance of this fund....

I think you should stick to reviewing gadgets and not go and post an obsurdly haphazard attempt at making a tech stock index. This index is far from informative.
