Hhahhaahh.... You are sooooo effing wrong there. But whatever. Yes you can play semantics and find individual cases... but the tide moves all ships.But how an individual stock moves is not the same as an index move.
You don't think astute players look at the ENTIRE market in the term of indexes?! And yes the indexes are a basket of a few. But who cares.... that's the game-board. Duh.
Either way, to think this announcement today was some kind of surprise that all the sudden shocked the whales to where they wanted to get out, ... is laughable. Christ almighty....you have volumes to learn about this game. Your mindset of "option players, and stock players, and index players".... dude.... you have to learn to read them all if you wanna win.
Why do you pigeon hole yourself like that. Is odd.
