<Too bad we can't do the original composite>

The original composite had GE in it, although it dropped off and came back on.

The original group was not 30, the number was either 10, 12 or 15 I do not recall. Rail was bigger, then.

I suppose I could determine the original group. But it may be a waste of time. GE is probably the only one left.

You know what is really the twist is not the replacement, so much. I recall about 5 or 7 years ago when the divisor became a multiplier. That was the twist that screwed it all up.

Now 30 stocks go up a point and the Dow is up 112 points or so. That made magnificent meat out of the Index, not the swapping out so much. My opinion of course.

The SPX being Cap-Weighted I think is affected less by the changes.
