Google will be added to the S&P 500:

It will either be a curse or a blessing for the (C).

What do you think?

God Bless:)

My guess, short term gains that will be sold off quickly. It happened with eBay and Amazon. Goog is up after hours so I think we missed the buying opportunity. By Monday you'll see the profit taking start kicking in.

In the longer term - probably a blessing. Goog may help provide some leverage, especially to the upside now that it has corrected some.

IMO GOOG will be a curse. S&P doesnt need the GOOG tech stock, lousy choice for addition, GOOG will die soon.

When I made that post I had thought the change was happening last Friday (3/24), not this Friday. The gains in Google since the announcement have been impressive. So this Friday is the Google day. What happens to it on Monday? :eek:

Do you all think that with GOOG joining the S&P tomorrow that this will boost the C fund at least for a day with fund managers buying it?
