More on S&P 500
Description from Wikipedia:
The S&P 500 is a stock market index containing the stocks of 500 Large-Cap corporations, all of which are from the United States. The index is the most notable of the many indices owned and maintained by Standard & Poor's, a division of McGraw-Hill. S&P 500 is used in reference not only to the index but also to the 500 companies that have their common stock included in the index.
The S&P 500 index forms part of the broader S&P 1500 and S&P Global 1200 stock market indices.
All of the stocks in the index are those of large publicly held companies and trade on the two largest US stock markets, the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ. After the Dow Jones Industrial Average, the S&P 500 is the most widely watched index of large-cap US stocks. It is considered to be a bellwether for the US economy and is a component of the Index of Leading Indicators. It is often quoted using the symbol SPX or INX, and may be prefixed with a caret (^) or with a dollar sign ($).
Many index funds and exchange-traded funds track the performance of the S&P 500 by holding the same stocks as the index, in the same proportions, and thus attempting to match its performance (before fees and expenses). Partly because of this, a company which has its stock added to the list may see a boost in its stock price as the managers of the mutual funds must purchase that company's stock in order to match the funds' composition to that of the S&P 500 index.
