Me too. But I have to confess I still look at the number before the SPX. Lifetime of habit... like millions of other people. They should kill the Dow just to protect us from ourselves. Me as well. It doesn't help that every news organization quotes the Dow first too, as archaic as it is. The S&P 500 is always listed last, as if it were an afterthought.

I think that's the only reason to care about the Dow - the fact that a lot of people do care about it. I generally don't look at it at all. Not that it should matter to anyone what I look at. It's not as if I'm some kind of big-time trader. I'm not even a tycoon in my own mind or on SI. I will say, though, that I believe I understand Apple as well as anyone, professional or amateur.
