Read a random definition: NTSB

A quick definition of Standard and Poor’s 500 (S&P 500):

Standard and Poor’s 500 (S&P 500) is a list of the 500 biggest companies in the United States. It shows how well these companies and the economy are doing. The list is made by looking at how much each company is worth. This helps people understand how the stock market is doing and how the economy is doing overall.

A more thorough explanation:

Standard and Poor’s 500 (S&P 500) is a list of the 500 biggest public companies in the United States. It shows how well these companies and the economy are doing. The S&P 500 measures the size of companies by their market capitalization, which is the total value of all their shares of stock.

For example, if a company has 1 million shares of stock and each share is worth $10, then the company's market capitalization is $10 million. The S&P 500 includes companies from different industries, such as technology, healthcare, and finance.

The S&P 500 is important because it gives investors an idea of how the stock market is doing overall. If the S&P 500 goes up, it means that the stock market is generally doing well. If it goes down, it means that the stock market is not doing as well.
