Spots; For a fact I know your wrong on the Dow Index, It is not weighted via price or market cap, and thats a fact. Each issue can alter the index the same amount for each dollar it changes in price. I could look up the diviser they use, but don't have time to get back into that, anyway it applies to each stock the same, regarless of price or market cap. A $1 move in GE is no different to the index than a $1 move in UK. Had I not discovered this I would not have gone to the troble of creating my own, which are weighted..both ways ! And they most often differ a lot from what the Dow shows. Jim
