About
The Standard and Poor’s 500 (S&P 500) is a stock market index, consisting of the 500 largest listed companies on U.S. based stock exchanges. A 200-year historical view of American markets highlights the: (1) power of compounding; and (2) vagaries of economic and business cycles. It provides perspective in an otherwise noisy market.
