It did not explain what FTSE meant, but it did adequately describe the index. I must confess that the title looks like gobbledygook to me so subjectively I feel that none of the information can be figured out from the title by the average non-specialist reader.
Not an expert and I've never studief the area but could get everyhting from the title. wikipedia is not a dictionary
I've had arguments with geogre over this. He apparently thinks that "The Old Man that the Sea is a book by Ernest Hemingway" would a substub because, being an academic, he thinks everybody knows the book. I take what I think is a more realistic approach: it's a clearly inadequate stub but it does give useful information that someone unfamiliar with American literature would surely not know. I checked this on my family. My wife knows the title and associates it with Hemingway. My children, both in their late teens, had never heard of it and couldn't even hazard a guess about what it might be. To them the information in geogre's "substub" would be incomplete but useful.
perhaps but consider if a follow a link to it hopeing for a real amount of information I'm not going to be best pleased.
