Happy New Year! Welcome back to The Vampire Squid, I’m incredibly excited for this year and for what is to come for TVS. Today’s episode will be on Market Indices and Exchanges like the S&P 500, DJIA, NYSE, and NASDAQ. I think this is an incredibly important episode because of the volatility that we have been seeing in the stock market, as well as everything that is to come that will affect how the markets perform. * Difference between Market Indices and Market Exchanges * Market Indices * Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) * S&P 500 * Russell 2000 * Market Exchanges * New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) * NASDAQ * DJIA Overview * 30 companies represented * Price-weighted and scaled averages * S&P 500 Overview * 500 companies represented * Market cap weighted * Russell 2000 * NYSE * Oldest and largest exchange * Blue Chip Stocks * ~$500k to list * NASDAQ * Newer exchange * Tech dominated * ~$50-$75k to list * Why this is importnat and useful for you to understand!
