From Google News Search: "stock index" When is the best time to get the stock index? Q. I need to do a daily stock-watch report at 4pm Bangkok time, but the indices change so often. My boss told me to get the index at the closest closing time. Do you have any information on these indices? Nikkei 225. Topix. Hang Seng. CSI 300 Taiex. S&P/ASX 200 MSCI Asia Paciffic Dow Johns. NASDAQ. Asked by Kichi Kichi - Tue Jul 10 06:38:44 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. Considering that the markets you mention do have different hours, I'd recommend picking them up early enough for you to get your report done on time. So if your report's due at 2pm. Perhaps get the prices at 12 each day to have a consistent reporting period. Now if he/she wants the closing price for each index, you could always say prices are as of xxx pm. and then the next day you can update any prices of any indexes that were still trading. For most of the Asian markets, a local website will probably give you a bit better info than most US sites. For Dow and Nasdaq, you can use finance.yahoo.com. Both prices will come up on that page.

Q. can sum1 plz help me with this question as it is a part of my assignment. thank you in advance. Asked by rukhsanaraja510 - Sun Oct 15 10:34:45 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. well the whole idea of hedging is to reduce your exposure to some kind of risk. For example, if you are overweight equities in your portfolio relative to your benchmark or what you feel would be prudent exposure, you could hedge your exposure to a downturn in the market (you'd be hurt since you're overweight equities) by selling futures (value of short futures increases as index level falls). It works the other way with long futures giving you exposure to equity market returns. Answered by Mr. ARJ - Wed Oct 18 21:47:37 2006 How would you say how the International Stock Index is doing?
Q. How would you say how the International Stock Index is doing? Asked by daddydalliance - Thu Aug 14 22:40:25 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. It's moving right along with the US indeces, and with world indeces. They are closely correlated right now. Define which index you want to look at then go to the website that offers the product.
