  Comments:
Added a couple of senses.
GG5 has "〔羅針儀の〕 a course; a point" but I'm not seeing it in the other refs and I can't find any support for it online. I suggest dropping it.
When talking about stocks, "points" does not mean "percentage points". I've created a new sense for this meaning. Although most of the Tanaka sentences are about stock market indexes, I don't think this sense is particularly common. And it doesn't appear to be used for Japanese stock indexes.

Many 外来語 don't have meanings which map precisely on those of the source. That's why 
comprehensive dictionaries spell them out.
