		Software stocks were moving higher Monday after Peoplesoft (PSFT) said its third quarter earnings would top previous forecasts.
		While the software index is approaching a major resistance zone, the chart pattern (Figure 1) hints at the possible formation of a triple top, which would be a bearish technical formation ahead of a significant move lower.
		While the index is a useful tool for viewing the action of software stocks, it is not an attractive trading vehicle.

		Although software stocks are performing well during the past few days, they have been a drag on the technology sector this year.
		Options on this index rarely see much trading activity and the unusual volume in these near-the-money options Monday was probably part of a straddle purchase, which is a bet that the software index will make a large percentage move between now and September option expiration.
		Since the lack of trading volume and liquidity in the GSTI Computer Software Index makes it an unappealing trading vehicle to most option traders (with the exception of the aforementioned straddle buyer), some options strategists turn instead to the Software HOLDRS (SWH) to implement trades on the sector.

		The GSTI Software Index, or $GSO, is an index of 45 computer software makers and distributors.
		Bottoming in late 2002, the software index began moving up early in 2003, but it was not until summer that the 20-week exponential moving average (EMA) crossed above the 50-week EMA.
		However, software stocks rebounded with the rest of the market in the second half of 2004 and went on to make a new high late that year.

		In addition, the news follows a cluster of warnings from software companies on Monday, and the current pattern does not bode well as the sector heads into the earnings-reporting season.
		While software stocks have been under pressure during the past few days and throughout the first quarter, there are reasons to believe that the trend might continue in the short-term.
		The news triggered a slide across the software sector during the first few weeks of third quarter (see the sharp drop on the GSO chart that started in early July).

	Twenty-First Securities Corporation - Strategies For The Professional Investor
		The definition of a narrow-based index has changed and, as a result, the overwhelming majority of indices with exchange-traded options now count as "broad-based." This is good news for most index investors because options on broad-based indices receive more generous tax treatment than options on narrow-based indices.
		In general, under the new definition, an index is narrow-based only if it contains nine or fewer component securities, if a single component security comprises more than 30% of its weighting, or if the aggregate of the five highest-weighted component securities comprise more than 60% of its weighting.
		The classification of a given index may fluctuate between broad-based and narrow-based.
