Over 100 U.S. blue chips now selling for under $10 a share | Reuters

"In fact, a third of the entire index is not even qualified to be in the index -- 186 stocks have market caps under $4 billion, the minimum value for consideration for S&P 500 membership."

I have a sinking feeling my index fund is going to just lock in the losses from these companies and then purchase a couple hundred other companies on their way down. Do you think there's a way to petition ADP to included super short funds as a 401K option? It would have been nice to double my retirement fund instead of halfing it over the last year.
