In regards to the top heavy Dow Industrials: << Fiend Commentary ================ Dow Five With Monday's close, the Dow was up 1,085 points or 14% for 1998. I've already mentioned how a few stocks within the S&P 500 and Nasdaq are driving those indexes but the situation is similar in the Dow. Only five Dow stocks have contributed 850 (78%) of the Dow's 1,085 points gained this year. The five stocks in order of contribution are IBM, Wal-Mart, Merck, United Technologies, and McDonald's. IBM alone has contributed 26% or 288 points to the Dow's gains this year as the stock has gone from 104 to 176. >> Confirm your study? TW
