Which ones track dividend reinvestments and not?[edit]
Fidelity's website says this (I have to paste it, can't link, because it's in a secure area)
- Standard & Poor's 500 Index
- The S&P 500 is an unmanaged index of the common stock prices of 500 widely held U. S. stocks. Standard & Poor's calculates the market prices of these stocks, including the reinvestment of dividends, as a way to track the performance of the stock market in general.
That seems to contradict this article's claim about the S&P 500 being a share-price only tracker. Anyway, the information is really hard to find. Anyone who can list indexes which DO and which DON'T track total dividend-reincvested return, with citations, please do so - big help! Hopefully someone will have knowledge of what the facts are and where citations might be. Thanks 68.123.47.165 19:03, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
Rewrite November 2011[edit]
Hi. I've rewritten the article and tried to deal with all of the tagged issues (including links from articles referring to this one). It would be great if someone could look over it. Maybe we can remove some of the tags? Ddnixx (talk) 20:12, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
