The article from MSN Money discusses the differences between value-weighted and market cap-weighted indices. A value-weighted index, also known as a price-weighted index, gives more influence to stocks with higher share prices, meaning that a change in the price of a high-priced stock will have a greater impact on the index's movement than a similar percentage change in a lower-priced stock.
