全球极限运动经济开始复苏(股票指数持续升高)

*Note: Timeline scale is relative. TWBASI was calculated semi-annually from January 2008 until the beginning of 2012, at which time the averages were calculated monthly.

近日全球极限运动股票指数(TWBASI)达到新的高度，据TWBASI在2013年2月平均指数上升至38.6时，TWS环球滑板经济频道发布了这个利好消息，由业内数十家极限运动龙头企业在内的股票平均价格推算出的全球极限运动股票指数自2009年1月跌入17.8的低谷后，该指数在之后的四年中节节攀升，也反映出极限运动领域在市场中的不断复苏。而国内的极限运动市场是否也会跟进这个趋势还有待进一步观察，毕竟国际国内的市场情况不尽相同，但利好的大趋势是必然的。编者注：如果国内也有这样的指数系统，那么淘宝店铺的平均值应该占到80%以上.....

The Transworld Business Action Sports Index (TWBASI) closed January at over 38.6 thanks to surges in nearly all publicly traded action sports companies’ stocks, resulting in its highest close since its inception in January 2008, and just its second time cresting the 38 mark.

The record month was fueled by strong performances in 11 of the index’s 14 stocks, buoyed by exceptionally strong months from Jarden (+14.2%), Nike (note, Nike’s stock split last month so listed prices are actually double the trading rate), Luxottica (+10.5%), and Quiksilver, which climbed over 52% during the month.

The only shares to close down on the month were Vail Resorts, due in part to meager snowfalls (-2%); VF Corp (-1.2%), and the troubled Skullcandy (-16.5%).
