quora - How is a stock market index calculated?

    * The value of the S&P 500 constantly changes based on the movement of its 500 stocks that it contains.

    * The index is computed with a 'Weighted Average Market Capitalization'.

    * The Market Capitalization is based on multiplying the stock price and the shares outstanding.

    * Each stocks weight is calculated by dividing the market capitalization of each stock by the total market capitalization of S&P 500.

    * Then similar the weights and market capitalization is multiplied and all 500 stocks are added together to create the S&P Index Price

It's Monday, October 28th, 1929 (one day before the start of the Wall Street Crash of 1929). I work in finance. Should I be worried about tomorrow?

Y! - What is a margin call and why is Wall Street terrified?

"Instead of property, hedge funds and wealthy individuals will typically obtain
a loan by pledging a portfolio of shares to large investment banks such as
Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan or Morgan Stanley.

The catch is that if the value of these shares falls below a certain point, banks
will demand extra funds to make up the shortfall."
