The DOW is less tech heavy than either the S&P 500 or the Nasdaq. That is why it’s down less. If interest rates decline significantly the DOW will underperform.

The Dow Jones industrial average keeps changing the stocks used in the average.

Notice all the railroad stocks in there?

Hmmm... somebody’s got a lot of stock they need to dump (at a handsome profit) before these companies tank. ;-)

Actually, some Dow stocks did far better than than average for the Dow and some did worse. That is hidden in the average because the top two Dow 30 stocks, Microsoft and Apple, make up nearly 50% of the valuation of the Dow. When they move considerably or fail to move, that can weigh alot on what the Dow as a whole is saying.
