  • What does "buy" mean in SPY activity?

    "Buy" means an investor increased their reported position in SPY compared to the prior reporting period. This reflects growing exposure to SPDR S&P 500 ETF TRUST (SPY) rather than necessarily a brand-new position (though new positions also appear as buys when prior quantity was zero).
