In these notes, we emphasize the rôle of spontaneous broken global discrete symmetries acting on the moduli space of N=2 susy Yang-Mills theories and show how they can be used, together with the BPS condition, as a spectrum generating symmetry. In particular, in the strong-coupling region, all BPS states come in multiplets of this broken symmetry. This played a key rôle in the determination of the strong-coupling spectra.
