Hi Anand,
ReplyDeletecould you please explain this "A company with 1% weightage will have to increase twice as much as one with a 2% weightage in order to move the index up or down by the same number. " in numerals .
Thx

Hi Srini,
ReplyDeleteExplaining the index calculation in one comment is practically impossible. But, for the sake of a simple example, let us say Company A has a 1% weightage in the index and Company B has a 2% weightage and both are trading at Rs. 100/- each.
So, a Rs. 2 movement in the price of Stock A and a Rs. 1 movement in the price of Stock B will have the same effect on the index.
Hope this clarifies.
Anand
Fine. Very clear.
