	TheStreet.com: Old-Timers Get Well-Deserved Retirement From Nikkei Index
		The same can be said of Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 index, the most widely cited barometer of equity health in the world's second-largest economy.
		About 40 domestic mutual funds, many of which benchmark themselves against the Nikkei, will have to rush in and buy the shares to ensure that their holdings mirror the index.
		The Nikkei's editors will automatically include the 75 most liquid stocks in the index, and, in theory, all of its 225 components could be shuffled out for new recruits.

		TOKYO (Reuters): Tokyo stocks are seen keeping a solid footing this week after the Nikkei confirmed a floor around 13,000, but any gains are likely to be capped by a mixed outlook over the chip sector and a lull in corporate news.

		The major weaknesses of the bearish perspective are its assumption that specific asset class moves can be predicted in advance and actively managed for profit, and that macroeconomic analysis is a useful tool for enhancing portfolio performance.
		A large body of research suggests that asset class trends and economic variables are unpredictable and cannot be timed, and without a benchmark, results may be due to chance.

		The 225 components of the Nikkei Stock Average are among the most actively traded issues on the first section of the TSE.
		Since the Nikkei Stock Average is expected to represent the performance of stocks on the first section -- and by extension the market in general -- the mix of components has been rebalanced from time to time to assure that all issues in the index are both highly liquid and representative of Japan's industrial structure.
		The Nikkei Stock Average is the average price of 225 stocks traded on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, but it is different from a simple average in that the divisor is adjusted to maintain continuity and reduce the effect of external factors not directly related to the market.

		The benchmark Nikkei-225 average closed down for the fourth consecutive session at 8,936.43, falling below the psychologically critical 9,000-level.
		However, the continued decline could be interpreted positively as a vote of confidence in Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's plans to revitalize the ailing Japanese economy once and for all.
		But while such measures may be effective in boosting growth in the longer term, critics have pointed out that such major shifts in policy would lead to considerable economic weakness, including higher unemployment, more bankruptcies, and increased deflationary pressure.
