	Market Indices
		Unlike many other indices, the DJIA is not a "weighted" index (that is, the Index does not take market capitalization into account).
		Stocks in the Index are chosen for market size (large-cap), liquidity, and industry group representation.
		The Russell 2000® Index is a capitalization-weighted index designed to measure the performance of a market consisting of the 2,000 smallest publicly traded U.S. companies (in terms of market capitalization) that are included in the Russell 3000® Index.

	Stock Index Futures and Options Education.
		The volatiliy of stock markets, which tends to be several times greater than the futures market, led to the introduction of stock index futures, which provide investors with instant exposure to a broad range of equites, reduced price risk, as well as portfolio hedging opportunities.
		There are stock index futures contracts, based on blue-chip stocks, small and mid-cap stocks, and international stocks, that are traded on exchanges globally, for example DAX Futures, the blue chip index of Deutsche Borse AG, traded on the Eurex exchange, and the capitalization-weighted FTSE 100, traded on Euronext.Liffe.
		Stock index futures can be also be used to morph the portfolio's market exposure, for example, purchasing CME Russell 2000 futures based on the capitalization-weighted Russell 2000 Index, can be done in order to skew a portfolio's exposure towards small-capitalization stocks.

	Stock market index Summary
		With five hundred stocks market-weighted, this index becomes a good indicator of market movements because it mirrors the combined knowledge of thousands of analysts and investors who, through their sales and purchases of stocks, determine the market value of the shares of stocks in the index.
		It is used as a tool to represent the characteristics of its component stocks, all of which bear some commonality such as trading on the same stock market exchange, belonging to the same industry, or having similar market capitalizations.
		Since index funds attempt to replicate the holdings of an index, they obviate the need for— and thus many costs of— the research entailed in active management, and have a lower "churn" rate (the turnover of securities which lose favor and are sold, with the attendant cost of commissions and capital gains taxes).

	Stock market index - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is used as a tool to represent the characteristics of its component stocks, all of which bear some commonality such as trading on the same stock market exchange, belonging to the same industry, or having similar market capitalizations.
		In a Price-weighted index such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the NYSE ARCA Tech 100 Index, the price of each component stock is the only consideration when determining the value of the index.
		Advocates claim that index funds routinely beat a large majority of actively managed mutual funds; one study claimed that over time, the average actively managed fund has returned 1.8% less than the SandP 500 index.

	What is a stock index fund?
		The stock market and the bond market have dozens of indexes, or groups of investments, that are used as benchmarks to measure how well a segment or sector of the financial markets is doing.
		The DJIA is an simple average of the prices of the 30 stocks in the index, adjusted for stock splits and stock dividends while the SandP 500 is a capitalization weighted index that not only considers the price of the stock but also considers the number of shares outstanding.
		In this case the mutual fund doesn't actually own the more than 6,700 bonds that comprise the index, just a grouping of bonds sufficient to capture the average risk and maturity of the index to provide investors with a return that is close to the return on the actual index less annual expenses of.22 percent.

	Stock index mutual funds deviate from the script - The Boston Globe
		Indexing, in which pools of money are set up to match a market index rather than trying to beat it, continues to flourish in many ways.
		The top sellers among ETF index vehicles these days include State Street Corp.'s SPDR Trust and Ishares ETFs offered by Barclays Global Investors that are organized around such specialties as international and dividend-paying stocks.
		In the 1990s, when index mutuals were often hailed as the simple all-purpose answer to just about every investment problem, Vanguard Total Stock Market and its bigger sibling, the Vanguard 500 Index fund, racked up dazzling performance numbers.

	Trading index options \| How to trade options
		Stock index futures and options contracts closely follow the price movement of their respective underlying indexes.

		Although this index is less well known than the others, it is in fact the largest index by market value in the world.
		Stocks traded via the Bulletin Board system (mostly penny stocks and stocks of extremely small companies) are excluded.
		However, investors in a Wilshire 5000-based index fund should be aware that the expense ratio for a fund containing every listed company is likely to have higher transaction costs than less broad indexes, thus an investor should expect slightly higher fees with a Wilshire 5000 index investment.

	China's stock index surges to 63-month high

		That means that the index fund absorbs $2 a year of every $1,000 invested, compared with $14 a year for the average actively managed fund.
		That's because the index is weighted according to each company's total stock-market value, and the very biggest companies in the index are growing far faster than the rest.
		That is, the top 50 stocks in the S&P recently represented 55% of the index's total value, while the remaining stocks (termed the "forgotten 450" by some) just 45%.
