^ The BBC index is our own real-time calculation showing what the value is now of $100 invested in 20 leading stocks in Europe and America in January 2000 - this is useful because it draws in the mood across the UK, Germany, France and US in one number, and is also a figure which demonstrates clearly the pain suffered by investors
since the market peak in 2000 - it's currently around $110 (August 2006), having dropped to just $62 in March 2003.
Ten of the companies are based in Europe and ten in the U.S. They are chosen to provide a range of industry sectors and avoid those companies which hold a potentially vulnerable monopoly in their market.
