Mark whether each of these statements about stock indexes is true.
The Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all measure the same stocks but in different quantities.
Unlike individual company stocks, which can fall in value, stock indexes always go up in value.
If the S&P 500 goes up 12 points, that means each of the 500 stocks must have gone up 12 points.
Stock brokers and individual investors can use the indexes to get a sense of how the market is performing.
All countries trade on the same stock markets and, therefore, use the same 3 stock indexes to assess performance.
