Notes stated that price-weighted index tends to be baised downward as large growth companies may issue stock-split which downwards price-weighted index.  Also, after stock-split, stock prices decrease which leads to lower price-weighted index.  Welcome for any comment.  [em01]  Sorry, I cann't agree with you too. The Shwester notes fail to include a concept called 'divisor'.  To get the price-weighted index, sum up the prices of the stocks in the index and then divide that number by a divisor. Remember, this divisor is not simply the number of different stocks included in the index and should be changded to maintain the continuity of the index bafore and after a stock split.  How can you emagine DJI changes a lot just because a stock split of a single stock? This content is in the Reading Material 56, not the notes. hehe, so i chose the unchanged answer.  |
