Talk:Stock market indexing

Notes on page development


 * This page is devoted to indexes and index providers, not index funds;
 * Since we have a number of pages which tabulate fund selections we can hyperlink to these at the end of each section.
 * This page might be enhanced with graphics (style boxes or pies)
 * There are major dispersions of returns among style indexes; we may wish to create separate data pages for each index provider (although a spreadsheet version of this data would be appropriate for number crunching). This would be a major undertaking. It would be easier to defer this to the papers which have been written on this phenomenon, but they may not be accessible.
 * A link to the page Alternate Indexes would allow us to treat the following:
 * Social Responsibility Indexes
 * Fundamental Indexes
 * Equal Weighted Indexes
 * Dividend Weighted Indexes
 * Inverse and Leveraged Indexes

Grammar check: Suggest use of "Indices" instead of "Indexes", also "Alternative Indices" instead of "Alternate Indexes" I think this reflects more appropriate usage. OK if I change this? Will affect several pages. LadyGeek 02:11, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Is this page intended to link with the cap weighted index pages (and the indexing sidebar?) Everything is on this page except cap weighting. --LadyGeek 01:42, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Not until someone develops the page.--Blbarnitz 08:07, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
