Interesting. Not surprising. Will replace Walgreens. Last change to the 30 stonks index was 2020.

I hate the Dow Jones so much.

I wish they would just stop reporting it and focus on the S&P 500 and/or Nasdaq.

That's one way to make it look like the market is doing better.
Boost numbers with Fake Chineseium.

It is by design a totally nonsensical reporting on how the "market is doing"

Weighting by market cap?

LOL

Weight by stock price?

LMAO.

Bitcoin would almost be a better indicator than the dow.

At least it tells us organized crime is up.

Yes yes.  Everything is fake and gay.

I can see why Walgreens got pulled.  Too much brazen theft thanks to soft on crime DA and petty thefts limits raised to higher figures (used to be $399 and now it's $999).  Amazon porch pirates aren't as effective in inteferring with commerce like shoplifters are.

What would the Dow be if they had the original 30 ?

Cnbc ad when clicking link for joining some club led apparently by jim kramer. New member offer of 150 bucks for 6 months or a year at 400 bucks.
If I wanted to lose money I'd roll the car window down and toss cash out the window.

The DOW made sense back in the day when you had to figure it with pencil and paper.  Can you imagine calculating the S&P 500 that way?

It was a lot worse when I was young.  At least people recognize that there is an S&P 500 these days.  When I was in my 20s the Dow was all they talked about.
