NYSE
A stock exchange based in New York City, which is considered the largest equities-based exchange in the world based on total market capitalization of its listed securities.
Formerly run as a private organization, the NYSE became a public entity in 2005.
S&P 500 – This index tracks 500 large U.S. companies across a wide span of industries and sectors. The stocks in the S&P 500 represent roughly 70 percent of all the stocks that are publicly traded. “S&P” stands for “Standards and Poor’s,” the name of a market research firm.
Dow Jones & Company – Named after Charles Dow, this index tracks the 30 largest U.S. companies. This means it represents “large-cap” companies, which is the industry term for “very big companies” like Johnson & Johnson, McDonalds and Coca-Cola. Although the companies within the Dow Jones represent only about 25 percent of all stocks, the DJIA is widely accepted as the leading indicator of market health.
NASDAQ(National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations) – It is the second-largest stock exchange in the world by market capitalization, after the New York Stock Exchange.
