How indices help traders

Index values help investors track changes in market values over long periods of time. For example, the widely used Standard

and Poor’s 500 Index is computed by combining 500 large-cap U.S. stocks into one index value. Traders can follow up

changes in the index’s value over time, and use it for their own portfolio returns.

 

Well-known Market Indices

The DJIA includes 30 stocks acquired on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and the NASDAQ. These companies include

premier corporations such as Home Depot, the Walt Disney Company, Exxon Mobil Corporation, and Microsoft

Corporation. The S&P 500 measures 500 stocks.

 

The Nasdaq Composite index advances by monitoring the daily value of the 4,000 stocks traded on the NASDAQ National

Market.

The Wilshire 5000, sometimes called the “total market index,” is an undetected index composed of all publicly traded

similar companies in the market. The value of the market index is also known as points. When the DJIA is reported to have

its composite companies to 400.
