* Start speculating prior to June and December which new counters will enter the list and which counters will be kicked-out. Buy those speculated new entry and hope index fund manager adjust their portfolio accordingly.  We can make it a semi-annual betting event, more fun than betting which candidate going to win the next pilihanraya kecil.
