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.
