Well, they are doing that right now and the gains are pretty board based, with perhaps a slight favourable bias for the Nasdaq 100. As noted here earlier, the Nasdaq 100 was the worst performing major US index yesterday, when it closed 146 points lower, at 21,091. Right now the index is priced to reopen at around 21,255
