is MSCI similar to Russell index?
reply
They have a number of indices primarily used to capture international and global markets but they do have country specific and sector specific indices as well.
I think the Russell indices is only for small caps.
A quick check with AI says there is around 18T benchmarked to MSCI Indicies and 19T benchmarked to Russell Indices so I guess in terms of size they are very similar.

Yes but you have to have buyers for the new issuance.
reply
There will always be buyers, just at a lower price.

You could say the same for USTs...or phone cards...

Wouldn't it make more sense for them to just issue more stock and dilute the shareholder to cover divi's?
