indexing

Read a random definition: release on recognizance

A quick definition of indexing:

Indexing: Indexing is a way to make sure that things like wages, pensions, and insurance payments keep up with the rising cost of things over time. It's also a way to invest money by following a group of stocks or other investments to see how they perform.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Indexing is a method of adjusting payments or investments to account for inflation or to track a specific group of securities.

Example 1: When you receive a salary increase to keep up with the rising cost of living, this is an example of indexing. For instance, if you earn $50,000 per year and inflation is 2%, your salary would be adjusted to $51,000 to maintain your purchasing power.

Example 2: Indexing can also refer to investing in a fund that mirrors a particular index of securities, such as the S&P 500. This means that the fund's performance will closely match the index it tracks. For example, if the S&P 500 increases by 10%, the fund will also increase by approximately 10%.

Both examples illustrate how indexing is used to adjust payments or investments to account for changes in the economy or market. It helps to ensure that individuals or funds maintain their purchasing power or achieve their investment goals.

UMN under review! As predicted, decisions are gonna come out early December
Minus those random R decisions from UMN yesterday though right? I wonder what happened there. I don’t think I’ve seen a school start the season out with anything but As on here
almost all of my apps have been UR for 6 weeks at this point I feel exhausted waiting for them to finish
Irvine is being snobby and wont start any review until end of Nov.
Yeah, it’s tough. I’m distracting myself by playing good video games after work :)
im distracting myself by schizo-scrolling r/lawschoolamissions and every conceivable data point on this godforsaken website
it is not working
Haaa I naturally want to do that too. I’m trying to stop. They need a surgeon general’s warning on this site for perspective law students
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years

I mean if Fordham doesn't release today I will purposefully get on a train, go to new york, and then take the stinkiest shit inside the admission office's toilet (potentially clogging it and forcing them to get a plumber)
