There S&P 500 is selected by a committee so there is no #501.

My point is that there is probably a bump going in and a hit falling out. This wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_S%26P_500_companies) shows the additions and removals. I am curious about the distortive effects of demand from the S&P 500 as a proxy for the effects of passive investing.

Technically there are 505 due to dual-share classes for 5 of the securities in the index.
