You appear to have misinterpreted Brinker's clearly stated market view on Moneytalk this weekend. He specifically said the S & P 500 Index represents 70% of the U S market as opposed to only 20% for the Dow. Therefore he maintains the S & P is the true barometer for defining any market decline. The recent setback came to 10.8% from the 983 high to the 877 closing low which he said was well within a decline of up to approximately 10%. Sounds more like a direct hit on the target than anything else. We can all refer to the Dow as much as we like but it still represents only a small fraction of the overall market while the S & P 500 makes up the vast majority of the market. Using the S & P for key reference points makes alot of sense to me.
