Here's some other S&P 500 stats from:
http://www.proinvestor.com/pub/indexes/index.html
Description of the S&P 500
The S&P 500 Index consists of 500 stocks chosen for market size, liquidity,
and industry group representation. It is a market-value weighted index
(stock price times number of shares outstanding), with each stock's weight
in the Index proportionate to its market value. The "500" is one of the most
widely used benchmarks of U.S. equity performance. For more about why stocks
are added or removed from an S&P Index, see the General Guidelines for
Adding and Removing Stocks from the S&P Indexes.
