st: How to generate variables by period

Hi All,
I want to generate a benchmark, which equals 4/n, while n is the
number of observations and changes for each period out of 120 periods.
For example,
period 1: n=2000, benchmark=4/2000
period 2: n=3000, benchmark=4/3000
......
period 120: n=1800, benchmark=4/1800
How can I generate this benchmark more efficiently, for instance, write a loop?
Thanks.
Xixi Lin
