Amex Institutional Index

The AMEX Institutional Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 75 stocks most widely held as equity investments among institutional equity portfolios. The index is designed to reflect the performance of their core stock holdings. The XII was developed with a base value of 125 as of June 24, 1986. ***Effective on May 19, 1998 there was a 2-1 split of the index value. Components are shown here at http://finance.yahoo.com/q/cp?s=^XII

Many of you know that following what Institutional Investors are doing is critically important for investors. With over 50% of all the daily volume coming from Institutional Investors each day, it makes them the "big guns" in the stock market. Going against them is always a bad idea ... if they are selling and you are buying, you will lose the game.

One thing for sure ... if the Institutional Index is not "on the way up", then the rest of the market is NOT going to be "on the way up" without them.

One thing I like about the Institutional core holdings index, is that it can't get manipulated. And because of that, technical analysis levels are usually "right on" ... just like in the old days.
