TAMPA, Jan.12: One month to go to the 2010 opening ceremony of Vancouver Olympics and Dow Jones Summer/Winter Games Index is flying high with a 46.08% rise since December 2008 when the index was changed. The index was adjusted to reflect the Vancouver 2010 Games and includes publicly traded companies that are official partners, sponsors and suppliers of the current Olympic Games.
Throughout the recession the index has held its numbers and steadily risen. The count today was based on the index in relation to global, regional and Canadian markets since the changeover.
From December 2008 to January 12, 2010 Worldwide, the Dow Jones Global Titans 50 gained 26.39% while in Europe the Dow Jones STOXX 50 Index was up 35.45% in the same time period. The Dow Jones Asian Titans 50 rose 37.23%.
Even though all markets experienced gains since December 22, 2008, the US had the weakest performance with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising only 25.17%. compared to Canadian blue-chips who had the strongest gains, up 67.73% within the same time frame.
