Spyders

Fancy Way to Say: S&P 500 Tracking Stock If an investor wants to participate in the performance of the S&P 500 she could buy shares in all 500 of the stocks held in it. Besides a large capital investment this strategy would also incur high commissions. There is however a security which tracks the performance of the S&P 500. It's nickname is the Spyders based on its ticker symbol, SPY.
