>if you don't like the data, just change the way they're put together.

and if you don't like the dow going down all the time, just take out some losing components and replace them with winners!

lets make those indexes even narrower! pretty soon we'll all be putting our money into ONE stock that quickly reaches 50 trillion in market cap!
