First Solar to join the S&P 500 Index

Filed under: Pfizer (PFE), Indices, S and P 500

Late Thursday, Standard & Poor's announced a few changes to its U.S. indices. The reason for the changes are that Wyeth (NYSE: WYE) is being acquired by Pfizer (NYSE: PFE), leaving an opening in both the S&P 100 and S&P 500 (SPX). I want to focus on the stock that will replace WYE in the SPX, First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR). In after-hours trading, FSLR jumped more than 6% in response to the announcement.

When Equity and Volatility Indexes Agree
N/A

Although the major equity indexes are highly correlated, they tend to diverge in meaningful ways on a day-to-day basis. The same is true for the implied volatility indexes that track equities. It’s also common for equities and implied volatility to move inversely on a daily basis – the expectation is that, most of the time, if the S&P 500 closes up, the VIX is likely to close down.

<>It’s very uncommon for both the equity indexes to all close higher and for their implied volatility indexes to all close higher on the same day. To clarify, the condition we’re looking for is one in which all <><>< /><><><>< /><><><><>< /><>< /><><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< />< />...
