Default Re: S&P removing Delta (DAL) from SP500 & SP100

the fact that so many the index funds are forced to buy the newly added stock and sell the one that removed causes the selling/buying pressure that you would expect. As a result, trying to make money off of this is a game that has been around for a while. Enough hedge funds etc... have done this that the game is now more of trying to figure out who will be added/removed next. I doubt this is a strategy that is really feasible for the average investor.
