Anheuser-Busch 401k (SP) 3yr PSDS Scan 12-31-2011

The Anheuser-Busch 401k company stock BUD did not yet have 5yr Market Data as of 12-31-2011 and I had to use the Morningstar S&P tracking index to complete the 2009 Market Data for even the 3yr scan. The stock is doing well and I would say Stella has been good for business and the beer is not too bad either.

Top 20 ETF Mkt Cap Portfolio PSDS C-Scan 12-31-2011

Top 20 ETF Mkt Cap Portfolio PSDS Scan 12-31-2011

When the covariance of these 20 ETF funds is used to compute the STD and PSR for each of the 1000 portfolios in the scan the cloud of points shifts to the right indicating they are strongly correlated. That was my expectation. However, the change in the Correlation Chart for the 1000 portfolios was a bit more interesting.
