The NASDAQ is both a stock exchange, as well as an index 
The NASDAQ is a more technology based exchange, compared to the NYSE
For the sake of this thread, I am going to focus on the index portion of the NASDAQ
Remember, none of this is investing advice!

There are 2 major indexes that come from the NASDAQ
NASDAQ composite
NASDAQ 100
Both of these include both American companies, as well as companies incorporated outside of the United States
I’ll go into each of them in the following tweets

Here are a few:

But don’t worry, there’s more!

The NASDAQ 100 is another index based off of the NASDAQ
This index includes stocks of the 100 largest non-finance companies on the exchange
These 100 companies make up more than 90% of the weight of the NASDAQ composite index

Remember, just because a stock is on a major index, doesn’t mean it is a good or bad investment!
Always do your research when investing!

The trailing 10 yr average of the NASDAQ composite index (according to Morningstar) is
18.74%
This makes sense, because of the tech heavy weighted portion
