Is the Dow Jones Average a good barometer of our economy? I often answer my own questions, so spare me what I already know! :) No. The Dow Jones Average is 30 stocks (there's tens of thousands) chosen at random, and they then project the *average* that we hear on tv and in the papers. S&P 500 is (duh) 500 stocks chosen at random, then a market-wide average is projected. And then there's the Russel 2000. I'm sure you already know how many stocks they use for the average. So you see, the Dow Jones means very little about our economy. What's more accurate is how our currency does against the world currency. We're at an all-time low USD against the Euro. 15 year low USD against the British Pound. (I tutor for $25/hr!)

Should GM be removed from the DOW Jones Industrial Average? I just don't get it, the DOW companies are supposedly the leaders in their industry, most profitable, stable companies. GM's getting beaten by Toyota (TOY) and Honda isn't far behind (HMI). I understand why AIG is being removed from the Index I don't know much about Honeywell (which is probably why it's being removed), but why did GM stay on when it's no longer a market leader? Personally I think it should get the boot. Correction Toyota is TM, and Honda is HMC.
Could the Dow Jones Industrial Average be fictional?

This is a serious question. Please answer if such a rigging is possible. The news media is filtered greatly...why not pull "digital strings" on the major markets?
