I agree. How can the Dow be an indicator when it keeps changing over the years?

It’s a bit like the global warming “scientists” gluing all of their proxies together to show the long term trends.

As far as I can tell, the Dow mostly shows how the gov’t has inflated the dollar.

Car and steel companies stopped leading the economy and were replaced in the Dow Industrials by high tech and financial services companies.

If Ford and GM and US Steel were still in the Dow it would look like the country was doing worse than it is.

It is not! DJI is a useless indicator. SP500 is better.
