Dow in a freefall. . . is this what we have to look forward to, now that INTC and MSFT are in the Dow Jones 40 Industrials AND nearly a quarter of the Nasdaq AND are they not in the S&P, too? With these two stocks in the Dow, it may be more representative of America. . .but the Dow and Naz are increasingly less important. . . I can read the markets far better by just looking at a list of sectors. Meanwhile, I glance up and see the Dow drop 30 points in 1 minute. Now. . as INTC and MSFT go. . . .so goes the markets. Anybody doubt me? Check out the intraday on MSFT. . .now take a look at the intraday on the Dow and the Nasdaq. You could overlap them all. Silliness. . . don't they think about these things BEFORE they make such decisions? So at this point, if you want to drive the U.S. Markets. . .simply drive MSFT and INTC. . .I would imagine this loophole is looking quite attractive to options traders. William?

It would not surprise me if the Dow Jones company reversed their decision. Rande Is
