LONDON -- The latest quarterly review of the FTSE 100 has just been published. The review sees EVRAZ (LSE: EVR ) and Polymetal International (LSE: POLY ) drop out of the U.K.'s top index while and Persimmon (LSE: PSN ) and Travis Perkins (LSE: TPK ) join the blue-chip elite.
The FTSE committee made its decision after the market closed yesterday, and the changes take effect from the start of trading on June 24.
Russians retreat
Russian company EVRAZ -- the steelmaker controlled by Chelsea FC owner Roman Abramovich -- and precious-metals miner Polymetal International depart the FTSE 100 together, having also entered as a pair during December 2011.
Fears about demand from China in the case of EVRAZ and weak gold and silver prices in Polymetal's case have taken their toll on the shares.
With copper miner Kazakhmys having been demoted to the FTSE 250 at the previous quarterly review, Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation is now the only ex-Soviet miner remaining in the FTSE 100. ENRC could also soon depart if a bid to take the company private is successful.

GenMark Diagnostics (GNMK) is a molecular diagnostics company, engages in the development, manufacturing, marketing, sale, and support of instruments and molecular tests based on its proprietary eSensor detection technology in the U.S. This stock closed up 1.7% to $9.89 in Tuesday's trading session.
Tuesday's Range: $9.24-$9.95
52-Week Range: $6.38-$16.00
Thursday's Volume: 562,000
Three-Month Average Volume: 385,008From a technical perspective, GNMK bounced modestly higher here with above-average volume. This stock has been trending sideways inside of a consolidation chart pattern for the last two months, with shares moving between $8.75 on the downside and $10.71 on the upside. This bounce is starting to push GNMK within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade above the upper-end of its sideways trading chart pattern. That breakout will hit if GNMK manages to clear some near-term overhead resistance levels at $10.04 to $10.50 and then once it takes out more resistance at $10.71 with high volume.
Traders should now look for long-biased trades in GNMK as long as it's trending above Tuesday's low of $9.24 or around $9 and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 385,008 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then GNMK will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $12 to $13.50.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By John Udovich]
Yesterday, small cap geothermal stock U.S. Geothermal Inc (NYSEMKT: HTM) produced a geyser of a return when it surged 26.79%, meaning its worth taking a closer look at the stock verses the performance of other geothermal stocks like small cap Ormat Technologies, Inc (NYSE: ORA) and mid cap Calpine Corporation (NYSE: CPN).�First of all, I should mention there are some other geothermal stocks out there like Alterra Power Corp (CVE: AXY) and Ram Power Corp (TSE: RPG) who have their primary listing on Canadian exchanges with secondary ones on the OTC���meaning they may not be a good deal for American investors or easy to invest in. Second, U.S. Geothermal Inc itself is a good geothermal proxy as its�focused on developing, owning, and operating clean, sustainable electric power from geothermal energy resources and its�operating geothermal power projects at Neal Hot Springs, Oregon; San Emidio, Nevada; and Raft River, Idaho plus El Ceibillo, an advanced stage, geothermal prospect located within a 24,710 acre energy rights concession area near Guatemala City, the largest city in Central America.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Peter Graham]
Small cap stocks Pulse Network Inc (OTCBB: TPNI), Sterling Consolidated Corp (OTCBB: STCC) and diaDexus, Inc (OTCMKTS: DDXS) have or could start to sizzle for investors.

With that in mind, here is a closer look along with a quick reality check about all three small caps to help you decide whether they are hot or not:
