NASDAQ 100
Index Trading Defined and Explained
The
NASDAQ-100 indicates that their index
includes 100 of the largest domestic and international
non-financial securities listed on The NASDAQ Stock
Market based on market capitalization. The Index
reflects companies across major industry groups including
computer hardware and software, telecommunications,
retail/wholesale trade and biotechnology. It does not contain
securities of financial companies including investment
companies.
The
NASDAQ-100 Index is calculated under a modified
capitalization-weighted methodology. As the NASDAQ 100
index tracks stocks traded on the NASDAQ
exchange, it is often considered a technology barometer despite
the fact that many healthcare, biotech, and service issues trade
there as well. It has quickly become one of the most actively
traded indexes on the market.
