kas1, I have the same complaint with the S&P as you do with the DOW. S&P adds stocks often especially during market tops. I gurantee you they do not add companies that are in bankruptcy. Generally during market tops M&A activity is very high and the S&P is changing rapidly. As you point out it is the stocks you own that matter. Problem is that a lot of folks have Mutual Funds and a lot of the stocks in most funds are DOW and S&P stocks.

I don't think we are disagreeing at all on this issue.

Joan

A good point, All indices have weaknesses. The DJ-30 seems to be the measure of the "market" for the media, therefore the public. I usually use RUT as more representive of my market. But at correction times all join in.

I am still amazed at what Bill can get out of VIX based on OEX.
