Teflon wrote: Actually, Harry, the discussions focused on whether MSFT would move from the NASDAQ to the NYSE and then subsequently be added to the DJIA. No Teflon, actually the discussion was exactly about adding MSFT to the DOW in spite of its NASDAQ membership, and it began six months ago. BTW, the author of the original article also called for Intel to be added to the DJIA. Tonyt started it with a Barrons article Message 8693816 >Here's the Barron's story: Time for a Change? As the blue-chip average hits 10,000, should some of its members be replaced? By Jay Palmer When the Dow Jones Industrial Average finally closed above the 10,000 level for the first time ever, a horde of pundits were inspired to issue all sorts of pronouncements about what levels the mighty Dow could reach in years and decades to come. An equally interesting question, and one of considerable importance to investors, is just what stocks in the years to come will be added to, or subtracted from, this bluest of blue-chip barometers. <snip>< Tech2000 then commented that he thought the idea had been under consideration for some time Message 8700509 >I would be skeptical of MSFT's addition to the DOW30 if it had been behind GE in market cap. Since it has surpassed by such a large margin, you would think there would now be serious consideration----i bet they have been pondering this for a year or so. I think now they could be seriously considering it.< I jumped on Tech2000... Message 8700874 >I just don't see any reason to add MSFT to the DJ... The Dow represents what it represents; 30 industrial corporations. Would the purpose of adding MSFT be to make it go up faster? Why? <snip><
