S Fund

'tis a puzzlement. DWCP is down but DWCPF is up. CNN and Marketwatch only recognize the former, while Yahoo only recognizes the latter. We have had lots of discussion about these two, never did figure out which one actually follows the S fund.
 
Try $EMW at StockCharts.com -- almost perfect mirror-image of the S Fund! --

This comes from the How low can it go thread (post #8)

Pilgrim, I recently stumbled upon the answer. The difference is that the DWCPF is a float adjusted index versus the DWCP is a full capitilazation index both of the Dow Jones Wilshire 4500. In english, it's easier to describe by example: if Company A and Company B each have ten million shares in existence and Company C has 20 million shares then under the full capitilzation index, company C will have twice the weight as A and B and A and B will have the same weight. Under a free float index, the weighting is a function of the number of shares available, so if company A is sitting on 50% of it's stock and company B is sitting on 60% of it's stock, company A will have greater weight. The S-fund is based on the floating index according to the fund sheet at TSP.gov

The DWCPF is the more accurate index to follow. I still don't know the answer to the Yahoo question, bugs the hell out me too.:)

These funds composition are so similar that I do not believe it is possible for them to be more then a few hundreths of a percent different in their returns

3:30 pm with the Dow at all-time highs, investors are rotating out of blue chips and into faster growing areas like technology. Small caps are currently faring very well as the underlying bullish tone attracts less risk-averse bargain hunters into the Russell 2000, which is turning in the day's best performance (+0.7%) but is still more than 3% off its all-time high of 784.62 (May 5).
 
And it should continue to do great.

Take a look at the numbers of advance issues vs. declines, and in up volume vs. down volume, especialy on NASDAQ:

This tells me (gut feeling) that the rally is still in full motion upwards.

I do not expect a change in the trend until the the advances and declines merge, and the "new highs" and "new lows" meet. At this rate, I THINK we still have much more upside potential in the "S", and that is going to be better in my crystal ball than the other options.
 
whats up with the chart ???? it looks like it it showing the previous close wrong and it looks like a lose but is showing positive
 
Interesting, after the good news the market didn't take off. S is flat to slightly down. Makes it look as though it is tired.
