GE seems irrelevant right now. In a steady decline for like forever. No ooomph on the rallies. Down again today on an up day. Quite literaly GE could be headed to $5 ultimately. Why not. MSFT C IBM (as of late) INTC seem to be the ones to watch. Yes C is very relevant on Max Pain. Options OI has way picked up (but not like MSFT INTC CSCO) Nothing compares to QQQ. M

Of the Dow, only MSFT, GE, WMT, and XOM have higher market caps. C is fifth at $187B. The first four combined have over $1 TRILLION in market cap - at least it makes a little more sense than when people claimed CSCO could have the first trillion dollar market cap! Whether the averages reflect it or not, these five names are absolutely huge in their impact on the average portfolio. Look at Magellan for instance - does it surprise anyone that these five names are in the top ten holdings? 19 names left in the >100B camp: screen.yahoo.com Wow - didn't realize it, but PFE is also $200B market cap. Almost $3 trillion in those 19 names. Anybody got the total market cap numbers? Anybody know where to get the Dow weightings? They are NOT market cap weighted at all. Heard that MMM is almost 10% despite its sub-100B status. BC
