There was a time when GM and US Steel were the dominant Dow Components. I'd enjoy seeing the algorithm they use to determine whose worthy.

There was also a time when the Dow Jones industrial index was comprised entirely of railroad stocks.

I may be wrong about this, but I believe General Electric is the only company that has been a component of the DOW since the beginning.
