The equal weight ethanol tracking index was updated effective January 2, 2008.  After applying our screens the index now consists of ten (10) companies with market cap of USD 8.4 billion.  Abengoa S.A was removed because only about 20% of its business is ethanol related.  Great Plains (GPRE) and BlueFire (BFRE.OB) were removed because their market cap is now below USD 100 million.  Biofuel Energy Corp. (BIOF) passed all our screens and is now included in the index.
