Russell index revamp could lead to hectic trading Saturday May 31, 1:06 am ET - By Eileen Aj Connelly, AP Business Writer Russell's annual index reconstitution expected to lead to heavy trading in some stocks NEW YORK (AP) -- "The whole month of June is kind of a magic month." Citi Investment Research equity strategist Lori Calvasina wasn't referring to weddings, graduations or wildflowers blooming. She was talking about the stock trading that will take place in the next few weeks in anticipation of the annual reconstitution of Russell Investment's indexes. It may seem like a wonkish matter that few individuals would pay attention to, but the reshuffling of the stocks that make up Russell's indexes, including the widely followed Russell 2000 index of small companies, will have a big impact on stock and mutual fund holdings. "Your benchmark index is going to change," Calvasina explained. Those changes will affect some $4.4 trillion in assets that Russell says is tied to one of its indexes, which were launched in 1984.
AP - Summer may bring a turning point for stock market Saturday May 17, 3:57 am ET - By Joe Bel Bruno, AP Business Writer Wall Street may get best indicators yet about recession or economic recovery as summer begins NEW YORK (AP) -- After nine months of turmoil that started with the collapse of the subprime mortgage market, Wall Street appears to be at a turning point of sorts. The data of the past few weeks have given investors some hope that the worst of the credit crisis has passed, that the economy isn't losing jobs at a dangerous rate and that inflation isn't out of control. The result has been relative calm in the financial markets, enabling the major indexes to reach levels they hadn't seen since early in the year -- including the Dow Jones industrials' brief return earlier this month to the 13,000 mark.
