My first opinion was/is about questioning the necessity of day to day observation of the DOW ...which is skewed anyway. It's just a number and is not a true representation of the economy. If it did then it would have figured inflation. Unless you are a stock broker there is no good reason to pay attention to the DOW everyday.
