I've heard of the Glycemic Index diet, that the lower the GI the food has, the quicker you lose weight and the easier it is to stay healthy. What is the appropriate amount of GI to consume in a day? Does it count like calories? If you want to lose weight, how many "points" should you consume in a day? Asked by sapphire in the rough - Fri Feb 23 11:44:13 2007 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments A. You're misinterpreting a bit. GI is a measure of how a food impacts your blood sugar level. Of critical importance for diabetics. For the rest of us, a high GI number means a quick insulin reaction. Insulin mediates the conversion of blood sugar to stored fat. So if you eat the same number of calories, high GI foods will be converted to fat faster than low GI foods. Losing weight is not a matter of how many GI points, its about calories consumed vs. calories burned, but sticking to the lower GI foods as a general rule makes weight management easier. There ARE occasions where high GI foods are usefull however. In the middle of a marathon, runners need high GI foods and sugars to fuel their muscles quickly and efficiently… [cont.] Answered by silverbullet - Fri Feb 23 11:57:36 2007 What is the difference between an ETF index fund and a regular index fund? Q. Schwab has some new etf index funds (domestic and international) for clients that are transaction free and very low expenses...Are ETF index more risky than normal index funds ? Asked by Man o Man - Sat Nov 14 12:33:16 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments A. ETFs are less risky. With ETFs you can buy or sell right now at the current price. You can also put in stop and limit orders, just like with any stock. You know what's going on at all times and you know what your price is. With regular index funds, like with any traditional mutual fund, you buy or sell your shares based on the net asset value which is calculated at the end of the day after the market closes. That means that you put your order in, but you don't know the price until later. If there is a big move against you near the end of the trading day, you're screwed. If I were to put in an order now (Saturday) for a regular fund, it would be held until the market closes on Monday. If I were to put in an order on an ETF now (Satur [cont.] Answered by Ted - Sat Nov 14 12:54:21 2009 How would I create an index for a portfolio of stocks?
Q. I want to create an index for about 50 stocks in a portfolio to track their performance. I want the index to be similiat to the S&P 500 so that it will account for stock splits and other factors. Asked by KevinT - Sun Nov 23 20:45:24 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. In a spread sheet maybe you could multiply the stock price by the outstanding shares then divide by the total. But that would give you an index that is weighted by market cap. Or you could just add up all the stock prices and divide by 50. Then if one split you would have to add an adjust factor to that particular stock as in for a 2 for 1 split that would be stock price times 2. That would result in stocks with higher prices having a greater influence. Or in a stock tracking portfolio where you can enter dollar amounts just put in the same $1,000 starting value for each stock making your index start at $50,000 then track the ups and downs. That would let you see how the individual stocks perform with the individual values at any… [cont.] Answered by Thor - Sun Nov 23 21:40:09 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "index"  online.wsj.com Wed, 28 Jul 2010 16:28:46 GMT+00:00 Wall Street Journal A notable exception to the broad-based losses was Portugal, where the PSI-20 stock index ended up 1% after Portugal Telecom agreed to sell its stake in ...
