from online help:

Indices begin with special characters as follows:
$ designates a Market Index. Common market indices are: $COMPQ for the NASDAQ Composite index, $DJIA for Dow Jones Industrial Average, $OEX for S&P 100 Index, $SPX for S&P 500 Index, $VIX for CBOE Option Volatility Index.


$- designates a Sector Index. A sector index is comprised of issues making up the sector. For example, the Airline Sector Index $-AIRLIN represents a measurement of all the airline stocks as a whole unit. The stocks that make up these sector indices are all equally weighted within the index.
