  • You’ve probably heard of names like the Dow Jones, S&P 500, and the Nasdaq Composite being used frequently in daily financial news or even in general conversations about the stock market, but what do these names represent?
    The Dow Jones, S&P 500, and the Nasdaq Composite are the 3 main stock indices in the United States. A stock index is simply a measure of the performance of a group of stocks. Stock market indices are mainly used as indicators of how a specific country’s stock market and economy are performing.
    Stock market indices are also used as benchmarks for investors to compare the performance of the stocks they own. For example, an investor with a strong stock portfolio will match or outperform the performance of the index it is being compared to. There are hundreds of stock market indices around the world such as the DAX which measures the performance of 30 major German companies on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange and the Nikkei which measures the performance of the 225 most important companies in Japan, but let’s take a closer look at the top 3 indices in the United States and how to invest in them.

Second, what works for A may not necessarily work for B and you should not be a bandwagon investor. A good number of folks are raking in huge 6 figure gains in this downtrend, but such strategies are mostly successfully executed by folks with in depth market knowledge.

    Rich people have assets, which are inflation proof. On the other hand, earned income is vulnerable to inflation. That's why the rich get richer in inflationary environments. An example, wealthy person may own several homes, rental properties(Commercial/Residential), businesses, productive land, equities, bonds, etc. The average W2 employee gets taxed the highest rate, they own almost no productive assets.

    Hi. Can you please tell me what the red negative or green positive figure means on the s&p 500 and other indexes? The one that changes every few seconds. Is it like how much points the stock is up or down when compared to the what it opened at for that day? What is it? Please answer!!

      It's how much (in $'s) the index is either up or down for the day.

      @@JustinQuiksilver No. It's simply how many $'s the index has moved up or down. An index/stock price itself doesn't show the total value of that stock/index which is where I think you're getting confused.
