Fine wine
A market of a few thousand serious participants, priced in cases of twelve, settled in bonded warehouses, and quoted almost entirely gross of cost. It has had a boom and a twenty-four percent correction inside four years and almost nobody outside the trade noticed either.

An index with no seeded levels still has published annual returns. We show what exists rather than back-filling a level we cannot cite.
An index down two and a half percent on the year contains a Barolo up sixty-two. Anyone given only the index number has been told the least interesting half of the story.
