Google and Red Hat added to Nasdaq

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the well-isn't-that-special dept.

Rob writes "Google Inc and Red Hat Inc are two of the big technology-related stocks to be added to the Nasdaq-100 in the latest annual reordering of the 100 largest non-financial stocks on the Nasdaq stock market. Meanwhile, the addition of Raleigh, North Carolina-based Red Hat reinforces the credentials of the open source Linux operating system on which the company has built its business. "

    The Dow is heavily overweight on the couple stocks with huge market caps though. Because it's only 30 stocks and is weighted by market cap, a company in the process of going under like MSFT will bring the whole Dow down significantly.
