Not an absolute indicator, but a needed gauge. It's a reliable index for those that understand it, and the need for it. The index of 30 acts sort of like a "bell weather index".

It is a reliable indicator. It reduces down to a control group. It is of course not the only indicator.

Yes..it's the Dow Jones Industrial Avg. I believe those others may be in Nasdaq. Regardless, personally, I think the S&P 500 Index is a better indication. But, typically they move together as there's lots of overlap.

I know it only includes about 30 and actually checked the list about a month ago. It is just a barometer and not to be totally relied on.

I agree to some point but, as Pete Xavier with X Group Real Estate Advocates mentioned, it's but one source and a needed gauge.

DJIA actually tells you more than you believe. GE is getting kicked out as the large loss and low price impact the market trend.
Amzn, Alphabet may disappear all together but Thomas Edison's company GE will remain and remain to be a company.

The Dow is a good indicator and gauge but is no longer the indicator that it once was of the entire stock market. Broader indexes such as the NASDAQ tell a better story about the overall market. They do usually run together, especially directionally.

Not any longer, i think they should shuffle what is and is not in there. What goes up goes down, what goes down, goes up.

Fred Griffin - well, it's been there historically - without any changes and consideration to throw out someone to give place to the new giants. So, even if it is a wrong indicator, people are scared when it goes down 1,175 points!
