There seem to be many finance meanings of "basis point" or at least "point". Could someone explain? When the Fed changes interest rates, those "points" appear to be full percent. I gather that for individual equities, a one-point change is really a one-dollar-per-share change. Then there's "points" as it refers to the Dow or NASDAQ. I think both this page and [[Point]] should make that clear. [[User:BenFrantzDale|—Ben FrantzDale]] ([[User talk:BenFrantzDale|talk]]) 23:27, 26 January 2008 (UTC) |
