Index Inclusion Strategy: 5000%+ (51X+) Cumulative Return Opportunity
Imagine an investing strategy so powerful it would make even the hottest tech IPOs or NVIDIA’s meteoric rise look sleepy: Between September 2018 to August 2025, roughly 800 stocks have been added to S&P indexes, and simply buying each at its lowest price within five minutes of the inclusion announcement — then selling at the highest price within the next day — would have delivered a staggering 5,000%+ cumulative return.
For context, even legendary trades like catching Nvidia’s meteoric rise, Bitcoin’s boom, or Tesla’s parabolic run pale in comparison. While most investors celebrate doubling their money over years, this theoretical index-inclusion play suggests an ultra-short-term opportunity that would have multiplied capital dozens of times over — faster than almost any conventional strategy on Wall Street.
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."
