About 3% Average Return for "less than one-day" holding-period of Stocks Added to S&P Indexes
We bring to individual investors and traders research and actionable insights that are used by top-tier wall street hedge funds in their trading strategies.
We are on a mission: to give individuals the research and tools to make informed trading decisions and level the playing field.
One such strategy is "Index Effect" - When a stock is added to the S&P 500, it generally experiences a positive price movement. This is because index funds and ETFs that track the S&P Index (S&P500, S&P400, S&P600) are compelled to buy shares of the newly added company.
On average, the price of stocks added to S&P index increases by about 3% within minutes or hours of announcement or within a day of announcement.
Our flagship product is Alerts (Phone Calls) for stocks that get added to S&P Indexes. Within minutes of the announcement to add a stock to S&P Indexes ( S&P500 or S&P400 or S&P600 indexes), you can get a call on your phone and an email that provides the exact stock that was added to the index. By buying the stock within minutes of announcement and selling it after a few hours or on next day, one can expect to gain about 3% return (on average) - this is based on analysis of data for about 100 stocks that were added to S&P500 or S&P400 or S&P600 indexes, during a four-year period between 2021 and 2025. This trading strategy offers the potential to make substantial gains, if executed appropriately & consistently, over a long period. Continue reading to learn more.

I have been a subscriber of the stock alerts from beststockinsight.com for more than six months. I started with a 2000$ positions in stocks when they were added to S&P indexes. I kept watching and learning more about the behavior of these stocks. As I gained confidence in this strategy, I gradually increased my position size, as I saw the profits ( and some occasional losses). I went through the research posted on beststockinsight.com and also did my own research. My best position was Coinbase, where I made a profit of more than $18,000 in one day, after buying the stock on getting the Announcement alert on 12th May 2025

"I have been a user of the beststockinsight.com alerts for about four months. I definitely like the fact that I get a notification before it is widely available on news media. My brokerage account (fidelity, Schwab) do not provide such a notification on phone. I have made more than $5000 in profits by using these alerts to buy stocks that were added to S&P500. The cost of the subscription is way less than the value it provides."
