Explanation

The S P 500 stands for the Standard and Poors 500 Index. It is a world renowned stock market index that tracks the performance of 500 of the largest publicly traded companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States. It is widely regarded as one of the best gauges of the American equity market and the overall economy. Therefore, it relates directly to an index of stocks rather than technology or construction techniques.
