SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY, Financial) – Impact 16.6%
For those who need a clear definition of SPDR, Kevin Hagen explained it best: “SPDR stands for Standard & Poor's Depository Receipts, which are instruments that are traded on the stock exchange. These instruments are part of the Exchange Traded Funds that invest in baskets of stocks that reflect the composition of a stock index, such as the S&P 500, in this case. When you purchase SPDRs, you are actually buying an interest in the stocks of all the 500 companies that make up the S&P 500 index.”
Standard and Poor's Depository Receipts is up 20% over 12 months with a market cap of $127.81 billion.
The current share price is $169.31. The dividend yield is 2.00. The interest coverage is 3.1, considered low.
Richard Perry has had a long, lucrative, buy and sell relationship with SPY, beginning back in the second quarter of 2003 when he bought 1,140,547 shares at an average price of $94.17 and made a 79.8% gain. More recently, in the fourth quarter of 2012, Perry sold out 200,037 shares at an average price of $142.07 for a 19.2% gain.
