Spyder ETF Trading Information
Standard and Poor’s changes the S&P 500 index to reflect what it perceives as the most important sectors and industries in the market today. Information on the S&P 500 Index is available online with the most up-to-date sectors listed. The Spyder ETF reflects both the daily liquidity and the trends the index follows.
SPY Trading Method Advice
Because the S&P 500 is a market capitalization-weighted index, the trend is that major holdings within that index tend to get bigger and the small tend to get smaller when prices rise. There is much more liquidity in the larger stocks so Spyder traders must keep up on major market moves and reactions that may affect the ETF, as a market cap-weighted index can intensify rising and falling prices within the Spyder.
