Shares of satellite TV operator, Dish Networks, was removed from the S&P 500 in June last year. Within two weeks of the announcement, the stock was down -12% and continued to fall for months that followed.
The S&P 500 is an index of 500 stocks created by S&P Global Intelligence (SPGI). ETFs that seek to mimic the performance of the S&P 500, such as SPY and VOO, buy and sell equities to keep their composition the same as the S&P 500 index. This allows us to buy the ETFs that effectively track the benchmark. When a stock gets added to the S&P 500 index, ETFs that track the index have to buy the stock. The reverse is also true. When a stock is removed from the index, fund managers of SPY, VOO, and other ETFs have to sell millions of shares of the stock that got kicked out of the S&P 500.
The best way to trade bearish AI stock alerts is by buying stock option puts on the stock. It's important to understand that there are two key dates for S&P 500 composition changes: 1) the date of the announced change, and 2) the date the change occurs (when shares are physically sold). Both events can move the share price, but the date the shares are traded will have a more technical reason for the effect.
