Index description (from
the official AMEX website)
The Airline Index is designed to measure the performance of highly capitalized companies
in the airline industry. The Index tracks the aggregate performance of major U.S. and
overseas airlines.
The Index is equal-dollar weighted, designed to ensure that
each of its component securities is represented in approximate equal dollar value.
Equal-dollar weighting was established by designating the number of shares of each
component security that represented approximately $10,000 in market value, based on
closing prices on Oct. 21, 1994 (e.g., a stock that closed at $20 per share would be
represented in the Index by 500 shares for a total market value of $10,000). The aggregate
value of the stocks was reduced by a divisor to establish an Index benchmark value of
200.00. To ensure that each component stock continues to represent approximate equal
market value in the Index, adjustments are made quarterly after the close of trading on
the third Friday of January, April, July and October.
