of course thats important.

I would be paying attention to the top 3-5 NDX 100 stocks when trading NQ, NDX or QQQQ


AAPL
GOOG
RIMM

does not the #2 MSFT matter to the NDX movement?
 
Quote from S2007S:

Also remember that about 70% of the gains on the NDX came from AAPL, RIMM and GOOG.
can you explain how you arrive at that huge number?...70% from those 3?
 
What do you watch for? Aren't any differences between AAPL's movement and NQ's getting arbed instantly?

A few articles pointed it out over the last 2 months as for any info relating to these gains can be found here, notice that the chart only dates to June, since June AAPL has gained another $65 google another $175. These 2 alone have made up a large % of gains in the NDX. If 2008 isnt the year for AAPL, RIMM, AMZN or GOOG it wont be a year for the NASDAQ as well.
