Stock Market Indices

Stock indexes are used to compare the price fluctuations of a group of stocks of similar companies, which are combined based on a similar industry or a particular market capitalization limit or type of market. The price comparison is based on a pre-determined standard method or indicators. These stock indexes are usually considered a base for comparison of a particular stock, and the performance of that particular company can be easily determined.
