  SPDR - ILB
SPDR (or The Widow, as The Sleeping Princess calls her) was a program designed to protect the AI Melissa in times of peril.
SPDR herself was not too intelligent, as her only function was to repair her mistress.
While not understood completely at the time it arrived, SPDR's warning specified the nature of her presence, the countdowns to certain points in the repair process, and, more importantly, the countdown to "Wide awake and physical" on August 24, which started the axon situation and the true beginning to the ARG.

They're called SPDRs (pronounced "spiders") and are actually long-term unit investment trusts -- in other words, packages of stocks that are intended to mimic a particular index and which change in composition only when the index changes.
SPDRs, or Standard and Poor's Depositary Receipts, have been around for six years -- the first one was based on the SandP 500 itself.
The portfolios of the sector SPDRs, by contrast, are each composed of relevant stocks from the SandP 500, picked (if that's the word) by SandP and Merrill Lynch and Co. The lists are meant to stay in place, with only minor tweaking each year, like the SandP 500 itself.

 The Motley Fool: The Foolish Four
The SPDR is a trust rather than a mutual fund, and while the management of the portfolio is approximately the same, your responsibility for taxes is different.
With the SPDR, your tax liability is only tied to the shares you buy and sell and the holding period you choose.
But for an investor who's primarily a stock investor and is just looking for an easy parking place for cash before his next stock purchase, the SPDR will at least keep your slush fund working at the same pace as the index.
