The Dow 30 Index Needs To Go

This episode will be a continuation from my previous episode on the S&P 500 Index.  Here I’m going to talk about the Dow 30 Index and how I also see a lot of misunderstanding about this index or just plain wrong understanding of it.   I'll talk about how it actually works and throw in a little history about it as well.   Then I really get into how the Dow 30 has become the headline of most news outlets as the barometer of the market, and I'll argue that there's a huge disconnect between this and the everyday investor...and that you should really not even give two licks about the Dow 30 when it comes to your personal investing.   Please visit www.rhitch.com/resources for more information and PDF's mentioned in this episode.    Ryan Hitchcock Financial Planner High Point Capital Group   Direct: 414-253-4611 rhitch@hpcg.com   Investing involves risk including the potential loss of principal.
