股價指數（stock index）

閱讀筆記：

• 股票市場或某些產業內選出有代表性的若干支股票組成的指數。觀察該股價指數數值的變動，是衡量股市變化的方法之一。（摘自《期貨交易原理》〔How the Futures Markets Work〕）

• The ABCs Of Stock Indexes:

"In the beginning, Dow created the index, and Wall Street saw that it was good. Then the Dow begat the S&P 500, which begat the Nasdaq Composite, which begat the Russell 1000, 2000, and on and on and on…

Despite the proliferation of indexes, the 'big three' - Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq Composite and the S&P 500 - rule the headlines, influence the investment decisions of fund managers and command the emotions of the individual investor. And this is not so good. In fact, many times it is bad, and it makes for an ugly market."
