Two points.

First, I've also noticed that tested returns improve when the initial
selection-pool is larger, but that's only logical.  More and
better-quality choices should result in more and better-quality trades.
 
Second, look at your selection-pools.  The SP100 and SP500 are
capitalization-based indices containing some of the most over-owned,
over-valued stocks in the entire market.  By expanding your selection
pool to include stocks that are less widely-owned and better-valued
than the already over-popular favorites you're getting a better return
on your investment.



Luck,

Sebastian
